/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran will not allow of any agreements on Caspian sea
without its participation, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Motakki
stated. The oncoming Caspian states summit in Aktau contradicts Iran’s
national interests, he said.

The official Tehran was offended by the fact their representatives were
not invited to informal meeting of Caspian Sea region leaders in Aktau.

Moscow believes Iranians leaders’ statements on illegality of
a separate meeting between Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and
Turkmenistan are rather forced. No documents on Caspian collaboration
which couldn’t be signed without Iran’s participation will be concluded
at Aktau, meeting, a diplomatic source in Moscow reported to Interfax.
