Rally in Tokyo for return of Russian-held islands

TOKYO, Japan - An annual rally calling for the return of four Russian-held islands off Hokkaido, known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Southern Kurils in Russia, is held in Tokyo on Feb. 7, 2012. Feb. 7 is designated ''Northern Territories Day'' in Japan because on that day in 1855, the Treaty of Commerce, Navigation and Delimitation between Japan and Russia was concluded, in which the two countries confirmed that the four islands are part of Japanese territory.
