The first summit meeting of the heads of state of the five countries surrounding the Caspian Sea was held in Ashgabat in April 2002. It produced no agreement, however, because Russia already had bilateral accords on sharing the Caspian with each of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
In mid-2001 an Iranian gunboat forced a BP-hired exploration vessel to leave an oil-rich area disputed between Iran and Azerbaijan. Weeks earlier the Turkmen government recalled its five-member embassy from Baku because of a dispute over ownership of three Caspian oilfields.
