The Caspian states do not protest against the problem of the status conceptually. We have strengthened normative grounds with Russia and Kazakhstan on distribution of the Caspian Sea. We are negotiating with Iran and Turkmenistan. The documents signed with the Caspian states have international basis and are legitimate. We are sure that the negotiations will help to transfer the potential to many-sided format," Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Khalaf Khalafov told journalists, APA reports.
