Russia supported the development of a protocol for monitoring the Caspian Sea

TURKMENBASHI (Turkmenistan), October 9 - RIA Novosti. Russia supports the development of a special protocol within the framework of the Tehran Convention on monitoring the Caspian Sea, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Caspian Environmental Summit.

The Russian President noted that current environmental challenges require the development of joint steps to preserve the ecosystem of the Caspian Sea, for this it is necessary to make maximum use of the potential of existing international structures, in particular, the conference of contracting parties to the Tehran Convention.

“Russia also supports the development of a special protocol on monitoring the Caspian Sea within the framework of the Tehran Convention. In our opinion, such a document would help systematize the exchange of information not only on shallowing, but also on a wide range of other environmental risks, and establish a mechanism for responding to them,” he emphasized.
