"We worked well today. We made good progress in many spheres. There are just a few left, and they mentioned already. However, in regard to those issues we need to just outline the principles approved by the presidents. The seabed will be demarcated between the neighboring countries as you already know," S. Lavrov said.

The Russian Foreign Affairs Minister noted that such agreements were already signed between Russian and Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.

"I believe that signing of the convention is possible as early as in 2017. I think that even the first half of 2017 is quit realistic. At least our experts will be working hard over the next few months," S. Lavrov stressed.
