Turkmenistan, Iran not signed agreement on a moratorium on sturgeon catch
Almaty. February 16. Kazakhstan Today - Turkmenistan and Iran have not signed the agreement on moratorium on sturgeon catch, Kazakhstan Today reports.
A meeting of representatives of five Caspian littoral states was held on February 14-15 in Astana to develop the mechanism of introduction of moratorium on sturgeon catch for commercial purposes. The delegations from Turkmenistan and Iran did not sign the prepared protocol. The protocol was signed only by Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, Voice of Russia reported.
"We will wait for some time. The delegations of Turkmenistan and Iran will probably sign this protocol. At least, we have hope because the heads of five near-Caspian states had given such a task. We hope that this moratorium will be imposed and we won't be that generation that may witness disappearance of sturgeon in the Caspian Sea," the head of the center of public relations of the Federal Agency for Fishery of the Russian Federation Alexander Anatolevich Savelyev informed Voice of Russia.
As informed earlier, Kazakhstan initiated imposing of a five-year sturgeon moratorium at the summit of the Caspian states in Baku. All other countries of the region - Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Iran admit that the world's sturgeon stocks (more than 80 percent) concentrated in the Caspian Sea basin have been reduced to a catastrophic extent in recent years.
