Dr. Pzhashkian at an extraordinary meeting of the leaders of the Caspian Sea region:

Today, we have a historical choice, or we can simply see the lowering of the Caspian water level as a natural and inevitable process and wait for its consequences; Or by relying on science, regional cooperation and political will, we work to reduce damage and increase the resilience of this unique ecosystem. The choice in the Islamic Republic of Iran is cooperation; Our choice is science; Our choice is to protect the Caspian Sea; And our choice is to pass on this common heritage to future generations. Let's make the Caspian Sea a new symbol of regional cooperation; A sea that is a bridge between our nations instead of a border. Let's prove to future generations that when we were faced with a common crisis, we as the countries of the Caspian coast stood side by side and cooperated to save it. The Caspian Sea is not a sea; It is a common heritage; And the protection of this heritage is a shared and historical responsibility for all of us.
