Five countries claim different portions of Caspian Sea shelf. A Caspian basin countries summit will open in Baku on November 18, with the main item on the agenda being the division of Caspian Sea shelf. Iran is claiming more than 20 percent of Caspian Sea shelf, while the other countries have different ideas, which may mean the summit is doomed to fail.
