      Rally in Hokkaido for return of Russian-held islands

      NEMURO, Japan - People raise their fists and chant in unison a slogan calling for the return of four Russian-held islands off Hokkaido, known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Southern Kurils in Russia, at a rally in Nemuro, Hokkaido, 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.
