Another disgraceful pact for Iran?<\/h5>\n
Discussion over the portion remaining for Iran is a highly controversial issue.<\/p>\n
Mahmoud Sadeghi, a member of the Iranian regime\u2019s parliament from Tehran wrote: \u201cThe president was dispatched to Aktau at a time when the exact articles of the Caspian Sea legal convention remain vague. Is it true that Iran\u2019s 50 percent share has shrunk to 11 percent? Is another Turkmenchay agreement on its way? The people should know parliament members are not at all aware of this behind the curtain deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Treaty of “Trukemnchay” was signed in February 1828, bringing an end to the Russo-Persian War (1826-28). Under this agreement, Iran\u2019s sovereignty was limited to the Caspian Sea\u2019s southern section and a total of 250,000 square kilometers of Iran\u2019s lands were annexed by Russia. This comprised parts of today\u2019s Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey.<\/p>\n
Jabbar Kuchaki-nezhad, another member of the Iranian regime\u2019s parliament from Rasht, said Iran\u2019s share of the Caspian Sea is now 12 percent.<\/p>\n
History<\/h5>\n
1. Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the government of Iran headed by the regime’s president, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, recognized the republics separating from the USSR. Tehran\u2019s main intention was to gain influence in the Muslim nations bordering the Caspian Sea. The Iranian regime followed through with this policy knowing the recognition of these republics would endanger Iran\u2019s 50 percent share of the Caspian Sea.<\/p>\n
2. This made the new republics even bolder, pushing into signing hefty contracts with American and European oil companies. During the tenure of the Iranian regime president Mohammad Khatami, the mullahs realized their rivals have left them no choice and agreed into a proposal by forfeiting their (Iran’s) 50 percent share by agreeing to a mere 20 percent for Iran.<\/p>\n
3. When the government of Iranian regime president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad realized their northern neighbors had left nothing but 13 percent of the Caspian Sea for Iran, they gave in to this disgrace in an attempt to exit the international isolation the regime had bought for the Iranian people.<\/p>\n
The Iranian regime has gone the distance so far to maintain its corrupt rule in power. In addition to vast domestic crackdown and quelling all voices of dissent, the regime has been wasting billions to continue their meddling in foreign countries and launching bloodbaths in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and developing their nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.<\/p>\n
This regime is now plundering the Iranian people\u2019s wealth to garner political support from the north to confront its growing international isolation.<\/p>\n
