Russia and Azerbaijan to organize cruises on Caspian Sea

Azerbaijan and Russia will organize joint cruises on the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan’s Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Nazim Samadov said.

"The biggest problem in this issue is the unavailability of cruise liners," abc.az cited the minister as saying.

Speaking at a meeting with members of the Caspian-European Integration Business Club in Baku, Samadov said that currently Russia is building two liners. 

"Despite the fact that other Caspian states also wish to join this project later, Azerbaijan and Russia have already reached a verbal agreement on the organization of such cruises," he added.
