"Putin denounces military threats against Iran
Caspian leaders agree to oppose any foreign military bases or aggression in region

2007-10-17

For the first time in sixty years, a Russian leader stood on Iranian soil. Vladimir Putin joined the leaders of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan at the conference of Caspian leaders in Tehran. On the agenda was the division of the region's vast energy resources as well as geopolitical and military control of the Caspian sea basin.

As reports continue to circulate over the US desire to build an oil pipeline and military base in Azerbaijan, Russia and Iran confirmed their commitment to keeping the Caspian basin free from foreign presence and control. In the light of perceived US threats against Iran, Putin stated, "We should not even think of making use of force in this region."


Nice source of news, compared to so many bad ones.
