The Caspian must remain a zone of peace and cooperation,\u201d he said at a press conference in Astana.<\/p>\n<p>Lavrov specifically condemned as \u201cunacceptable\u201d the attacks carried out on March 18 by the U.S.-Israeli coalition against the Iranian port of <strong>Anzali<\/strong>, which serves \u201cthe commercial and logistical interests of the five Caspian countries,\u201d including Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Russia advocates \u201ca swift end to the crisis in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East through political agreements among all parties involved,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to discussing the implementation of bilateral agreements, Lavrov arrived in Astana to prepare for <strong>Putin\u2019s visit to Kazakhstan<\/strong> at the end of May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe reviewed the schedule of upcoming high-level contacts.
