Unfortunately he also took this way, which is endlessâ€, Professor Rustam Mammadov, expert on Caspian issues, told APA, while commenting on Berdimuhamedovâ€™s plan to sue Azerbaijan at the International Court of Arbitration.

He said this action would be useless and by this action, Turkmenistan would put an end on the Caspian negotiations. â€œThere was no any normative act, which Turkmen president quotes speaking about the Kepez field. It was invented by official Ashgabat. The regulation of the Caspian issues based only on the political experiences of the Caspian littoral states. It needs to find a model of understanding between the littoral states to hold normal talks. They threaten us to sue at the International Court of Arbitration. Let them to do that. I donâ€™t anything dangerous in this case. It is in favor of Azerbaijanâ€.

Political analyst Rasim Musabeyov told APA bringing the issue to the international court is only way of solution. â€œAzerbaijan is legally confident in its position. Usually the sides undertake to fulfill decisions of the International Court of Arbitration. I consider that it will be a decision legally satisfied the sides. Ukraine and Romania had an island dispute. They appealed the Court of Arbitration and both accepted the courtâ€™s decision. I think the court is only way of solution of the disputes between the two civil and friendly countriesâ€.
