Tokyo, May 27 (Sputnik) If Japan does not file charges over the recent collision of vessels in its waters, Russia's Amur merchant ship will leave the Japanese port by Friday morning, Russia's Consul General in Sapporo Sergey Marin told Sputnik.
"Our trawler is currently unloading, as its commercial activities are not subject to any restriction. If the local side does not bring charges, it [Amur] will leave to further follow its route by the next morning," Marin said.
