Kalyuzhny referred to the latest developments in the Caspian Sea area and called on the Caspian littoral states to expedite taking decision on the issue. He reiterated that any delay to the effect will be against the interests of all states in the regions and will pave the way for any possible interference in the Caspian Sea issues. The Iranian diplomat also stressed the need to coordinate the measures taken by the states bordering the Caspian Sea on the issue and the continued validity of the 1921 and 1940 Tehran-Moscow agreements.
