BEIJING, Oct. 17 -- In the Middle East, the Caspian Sea States summit is over in Tehran. Leaders of states bordering the Caspian sea have agreed never to attack or invade each other.
Iran, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan were the five states participating in the summit. And they tried to get closer to a deal on how to divide the Caspian Sea and its huge oil and gas reserves. But no final agreement was reached although the leaders outlined economic and other areas for more cooperation.
They declared that "under no circumstances will they allow the use of their territories by other countries to launch aggression or other military action against any of the member states.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said, "All sides of the Caspian Sea countries asserted that their armed forces will never be used to attack or invade any of them".
They also acknowledged the rights of all signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty -- which includes Iran -- to develop peaceful nuclear energy.
Vladimir Putin, Russian President, said, "All the Caspian Sea governments support the agreement, which is against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, but declares we all have the right to develop peaceful nuclear programme."
Russian President Putin is the first Kremlin leader to visit Iran since 1943. He arrived in Tehran after shrugging off a Russian report about a plot to assassinate him during the trip.

The new World Power Men notice the Gerbil isn't there. A smart leaders knows when to attack as Putin set back and waited and then struck Gold. Yes it will take a real smart educated US President to rebuild relationships with these guys. It's going to be a really cold winter here in the US with no help from those will oil.
"They declared that "under no circumstances will they allow the use of their territories by other countries to launch aggression or other military action against any of the member states."
