東国原知事が外国人記者を集めた外国特派員協会で記者会見を行い、
安部首相の慰安婦発言について質問をされると、「日本が慰安婦と言う性的奴隷を使った歴史的な証拠は無い」、
「１９１０年～１９４５の間は双方の同意の上で朝鮮半島は日本に併合さえており、
当時売春は合法であったので、日本へ朝鮮半島から出稼ぎ売春婦が来るのは何の問題も無かった。」
「今頃になって韓国は日本に植民地支配をされて強制されたと言っているが、
戦勝国のアメリカの力を借りて好き勝手な事を言っているだけ。」と切り捨てた。
Miyazaki Gov. Hideo Higashikokubaru, a comedian-turned-rookie-politician, waded into a political minefield Wednesday,
claiming it was hard to confirm as historical fact that the wartime Japanese military coerced women across Asia into frontline brothels.
Asked by reporters for his opinion on Abe's comments, Higashikokubaru said,
"It is very difficult to confirm as a historical fact that the 'comfort women' actually existed.
Higashikokubaru said he believes there was nothing wrong with Japanese engaging in the sex trade in pre-1945 Korea,
because under a "bilateral accord" in 1910, the Korean Peninsula became part of Japan,
where the sex business had been allowed under certain regulations.
But the Koreas say Japan's colonial rule was in fact an invasion and illegal, as was any sex trade on the peninsula involving Japanese, the governor said.
"Arguments differ significantly between the winner and loser," Higashikokubaru said, as a general view.
