    TURKMENISTAN TO ESTABLISH NAVAL BASE IN CASPIAN SECTION OF COUNTRY

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ President of Turkmenistan Gurbangulu Berdimuhamedov
    tasked all the law-enforcement ministries to organize a reliable
    protection of the Caspian Sea borders from attacks by the smugglers
    and terrorist groups.

    Berdimuhamedov decided to establish a naval base in the Caspian section
    of the country by 2015, which will be supplied with modern monitoring
    equipment and ships with missiles on board. Also, an order was signed
    to establish a naval training institute in the town of Turkmenbashi.

    "Turkmenistan, preserving constant neutrality, does not intend to
    use the naval base to solve territorial issues," Interfax cited
    Berdimuhamedov as saying.

    Turkmenistan borders with Azerbaijan on the Caspian. Territorial
    disputes around oilfields were circulating between the states. In 2009,
    the issue was submitted to international justice for consideration. The
    issue could impede EU's plans for Nabucco pipeline construction,
    which Turkmenistan intended to join upon cessation of gas supplies
    to Russia in April 2009.
