The Iranian MP made the remarks after the Sunday summit of 5 littoral states of the Caspian Sea in the Kazakh city of Aktau and the convention signed by the five presidents in there stirred debates inside Iran where many believe that Iran has lost its advantages in the sea stipulated in treaties signed between Tehran-Moscow before the collapse of the USSR.
