Abstract
Informed by the principles enshrined in the Friendship Treaty, the 1931 ECN Agreement marked also a milestone in the Russian-Persian relations in the Caspian Sea. Article 16 of the agreement provided expressly that “only vessels belonging to the U.S.S.R. and Persia shall be present anywhere in the entire Caspian Sea.” Each country’s nationals and commercial and transportation companies were free to navigate under their respective Soviet or Persian flag. Moreover, each country agreed to employ only its own nationals on board of its Caspian vessels.
