Is Valkyria Chronicles a JRPG?

I don't think we will ever find an answer to this question unless we can define JRPG's.
Does JRPG's stand for all RPG's made in Japan (including sub genres) or does it stand for a certain type of RPG?

If it's the former then VC is a JRPG (I think we all can agree that VC is a SRPG).
