The presidents of the five Caspian states went for a walk along the Volga embankment and released young sturgeon into the river. The five leaders pressed together a symbolic button that released the sturgeons from a pool into the Volga. The ceremony was held to demonstrate the importance the Caspian states’ leaders place on preserving the sea’s biological resources. 

During their walk along the embankment, Mr Putin, Mr Aliyev, Mr Rouhani, Mr Nazarbayev and Mr Berdimuhamedov spoke with participants in the Caspian Youth Summit, which took place earlier.
