Tehran, May 20 - President Mohammad Khatami and Azeri President Heydar Aliyev here Monday said they had reached a 'broad understanding' on formulating the legal regime of the Caspian Sea.
Speaking in a joint press conference before Aliyev left Tehran for Baku, the Iranian and Azeri presidents voiced optimism over the results of the upcoming expert-level meeting to debate the regime, slated for June 11.
Khatami described Aliyev's visit as a turning point in mutual relations, and reiterated that he had had fruitful talks with the Azeri president.
