Iran Homes in on the Caspian
This week, Tehran hosts the 22nd meeting of representatives from the five littoral states in the Caspian Sea region - Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan - working overtime to put together a new "convention for the legal regime of the Caspian Sea", reports Asian Times.
As a followup to last October's summit of leaders of the littoral states in Tehran, the two-day meeting is unlikely to reach any substantial agreement, although it is a good warmer for a related economic summit of Caspian states to be held in Russia this summer.
