news item number 22 here
filed in late 2004
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/inimr-ri.nsf/en/gr122221e.html
pinpoints the azerbaijan kazakhstan russia
equidistance tripoint
& qualifies it as a work still in progress at that
time

since the caspian is technically a lake & not really a
maritime space
notwithstanding its name & salinity
the tripoint is presumably of the sovereign
territorial rather than the eez sort

no idea if it has been fully ratified by all 3 parties
yet tho

nor if either of the other potential caspian tripoints

namely azkztm & azirtm
both of which would also involve azerbaijan
might be progressing in similar fashion
tho probably not
as it is known that iran favors a condo & objects to
any partition of the caspian at all
as for example here
http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/27b/020.html
& turkmenistan has been quietly somewhere in between
