Kuril Islands - chain islands between the peninsula
Kamchatka and the island of Hokkaido, slightly convex arc separating
Sea of Okhotsk from the Pacific the ocean.
Length - about 1200 km.
Total area - 10.5 thousand. km
To the south of them passes the state Russian border with Japan.
Islands form two parallel ridges: Greater Kuril
and the Little Kuril.
Include 56 islands.
Have an important strategic military and economic value.
Kuril Islands are included to the Sakhalin region of Russia.
South Islands of the Archipelago - Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan
and the Habomai group - contested Japan which includes
them in the governorship Hokkaido
The first demarcation of possessions Russia and Japan on the Kuril
the islands was made in Shimoda treatise of 1855:
Japanese legalized document territorial seizures,
Russia was forced to refuse from their rights to four
South Kuril Islands (Kunashir, Iturup, Shikotan
and Habomai) who moved to japan island north
from Iturup Island were announced possessions of Russia, and Sakhalin
continued to be joint undivided possession
two countries.
In 1875 in exchange for the right ownership of Sakhalin Russia
gave Japan all Kuril islands.
After defeat in 1905 in the Russian-Japanese war
Russia handed over to Japan the southern part of Sakhalin and
also Liaodong Peninsula (with the ports of Port Arthur and
Further).
In February 1945 at Yalta Soviet conference
Union, USA and UK signed an agreement according to
which the USSR took upon itself commitment to start a war
with Japan, and upon completion fighting soviet
South Union returned part of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands
islands.
September 2, 1945 was signed The surrender of Japan.
At that moment, when the Japanese representative put
his signature in the act of surrender, entered into force
decisions of the Yalta Conference 1945, according to which
Soviet Union returned territories previously owned
Russia and then affiliated to japan.
South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands the islands became Russian again.
A few years ago the Japanese honestly stated that in the case
return of the northern territories (Smoked) they will be scrupulous
perform before the Americans their allied obligations
and will certainly provide these islands are for accommodation
US military bases if the US asks Japan for this.
As sounded literally from the mouth of the Council Secretary
Japan security sotaro Yati:
"If the islands go over Tokyo, they will be distributed
security contract between Japan and the United States. "
The controversial islands are called: Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan,
Habomai.
Japanese require all four islands.
But if you give Iturup and Kunashir, this can lead
to revise the status of Okhotsk seas like the inland seas
Russia, with all the consequences hence the consequences.
Currently none the country has no right to
fishing in it without permission Russia and does not have any
subsoil development rights at its bottom.
The water area of the sea is 1603000 sq. Km.
For comparison, it's like put together square
such countries as Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Lithuania,
Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary
together.
Also to the country in the form of Denmark will remain.
But economic moments this is not the most significant
questions
First, between the islands there is a direct exit Russian
ships in the pacific ocean through non-freezing in winter
straits.
Secondly, if Okhotsk the sea will cease to be inland
then a 10-mile zone.
And naval boats NATA in the Sea of Okhotsk will be
at home only 20 km from the coast.
This is not the best result, which Russia to arrange
definitely can't ..
Russia should be cynical frank: just ignore
the Japanese with their claims stopping all negotiations
on the Kuril Islands.
Since the Pentagon does not intend reduce your presence
in Japan bases in the Kuril Islands in the case of
their transmission would be appropriate solution and for Tokyo and
for Washington.
The territory of the same Iturup can be used
and to redeploy parts US military bases in Okinawa,
what persistently seeks population of this japanese
islands.
Americans will instantly build on Iturup and Kunashir base.
How can rely on assurances that
this does not happen testifies withdrawal experience
from Germany.
Then they also promised "not to expand NATO to the East. "
I recall one interesting historical fact.
Portsmouth Negotiations 1905 Russian representative
Sergei Witte, trying to bargain rights to Sakhalin, referred
on the contract of 1875, according to which for this land Russia already
gave Japan all Kurilsk islands.
Yutaro Komuro, head of the Japanese delegation to the negotiations
it stated:
"War crosses all dodogory
You are defeated and let's proceed from the prevailing
furnishing "
So I would just like to remind the Japanese these words.
Maximum what traits can talk this
joint economic mastering the resources of two
small islands.
Shikotan and Habomai in their the time was promised to the Japanese
in case of signing by them peace treaty but not
it was said on what grounds and under whose sovereignty are they
fall into.
Maybe a lease pass, or under joint management
(condominium)
Yes, hypothetical transfer Shikotana and Habomai will not change
status of the Sea of Okhotsk.
But Russian affiliation should remain unshakable.
Russian jurisdiction won't let the Americans
demand compliance from Japan military obligations under
relation to yourself loved ones.
The Japanese will simply say "by talk to this question
with the Russians because the territory their".
And that means US military bases will not be there.
