Iran embassy in Baku confirmed on Monday that Caspian Sea legal regime meeting has been postponed.

Iran's deputy ambassador in Baku told IRNA the meeting was originally scheduled to be held on July 23-24 here but because Russians have said they are not ready, it will be held later.

Hadi Sheikh Ghafouri added experts from five littoral states will gather here September 4-5.

Azerbaijan Republic Foreign Ministry Spokesman had already told IRNA about the postponement of the meeting adding that the new date for next meeting is not determined yet.

Experts in the level of deputy foreign ministers were supposed to hold a meeting in Baku.

Iran, Azerbaijan Republic, Turkmenistan, Russia and Kazakhstan are five littoral states of Caspian Sea.
