Moscow regrets Japan ForMin's pronouncements about South Kurils.
MOSCOW, September 8 (Itar-Tass) -- Recent pronouncements by Japan's
new Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba that the South Kuril Islands were
occupied and are managed in a legally groundless form in no way contribute
to the development of bilateral relations, Russian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said on Thursday.
"We have taken notice of these pronouncements," he said and noted that
Moscow regrets that such words were ever voiced in the background of
positive tendencies in the relations between the two countries. "These
words add no positive to the bilateral relations."
