“The Caspian Sea Pipeline Alliance brings together leading companies in the energy industry from Russia, the United States, Kazakhstan and many Western European countries. We believe that attacks on corporate facilities and civilian ships in the waters of Union terminals are tantamount to harming the interests of all countries participating in the Caspian Sea Pipeline Union. It should be emphasized that this is the fifth direct attack against a fully civilian Caspian Sea Pipeline Union facility, which is protected by international law. All shareholders and participating governments of the Caspian Sea Pipeline Alliance agree that the alliance plays an important role in safeguarding global energy security and safeguarding the economic interests of all participating countries.”
