日本漁船めぐりロシアが抗議　連行状況、主張に食い違い

　【モスクワ時事】ロシア外務省は３日、ロシア警備当局が連行した日本漁船はロシアの排他的経済水域（ＥＥＺ）内で見つかり、停止要請に応じず逃亡を試みたと主張して、在ロシア日本大使館に「断固たる抗議」を行ったと発表した。

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday it has lodged a protest with the Japanese Embassy in Moscow about a Japanese fishing boat that was seized by Russian security authorities last month.
   The ministry claimed that the fishing boat was found in Russia's exclusive economic zone and attempted to escape without following a request from the authorities to stop.
   The No. 172 Eiho Maru, which belongs to the Wakkanai Trawl Fisheries Cooperative Association in the city of Wakkanai in the northernmost Japan prefecture of Hokkaido, was captured on May 28.
   Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato explained in a press conference in Tokyo Thursday that the fishing boat was operating in Japan's EEZ. He also revealed that the Japanese government protested against Russia over the boat's seizure.
   The Russian ministry insisted that security authorities spotted the Japanese boat in Russia's EEZ off the coast of Sakhalin in the country's Far East region and that the boat sailed in a dangerous manner when being chased after to put the lives and health of the patrol crew at risk.
