TOKYO, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Japan's Foreign Ministry is to summon the Myanmar ambassador to make an official complaint on Thursday after security forces raided monasteries in Yangon and elsewhere following an anti-military uprising, the chief cabinet secretary said.

Japan earlier this week issued a statement urging the Myanmar government to deal calmly with the demonstrations in Yangon, which are the biggest in 20 years.
