MOSCOW. Sept 12 (Interfax) -Japan's protests against Russia's economic activities on Shikotan Island are absolutely unacceptable, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
"We have given attention to Japan's demarche with regard to the opening of a fish-processing plant on Shikotan Island. We have to remind to Tokyo once again that we see Japan's protests against Russia's economic and any other activities, including cooperation with other states, on its own territory, of which the South Kuril Islands are an integral part, as categorically unacceptable," Zakharova said at a press briefing on Thursday.
