Europarliament Against Soviet Occupationism

On the 7th of July, 2005 Europarliament in Brussels had adopted a resolution in which the members of the European Union expressed a categorical determination to return the Northern territories occupied by the Soviet Union during the Second World War to Japan. The newly adopted reolution is called "On relations between EU, China, and Taiwan, and also on the safety in the Far East". Its many provisions concern the establishment of peaceful polit-economic relations between China and Taiwan, whereby the former is demanded to remove the missles from its Southern regions. In addition to that, the members of the EU insisted on not taking away the embargo on the export of weapons to China until there is noticeble progress in the sphere of the fulfillment of human rights. China, Taiwan, and Japan were called to attempt in the establishment of a dialogue in order to achieve mutual understanding and peace in the region. However the 15th article of the resolution deserves the most attention. It states the importance of resolving territorial disputes and as means of doing that it calls the Russian Federation to return those northern territories which were occupied by the Soviet Union during the Second World War and are still in Russia's possession. It is interesting that the article remained almost unnoticed in spite of its clear disregard for the wholesomeness of Russian territory, which contradicts the Helsinki agreement, signed by all European countries.
