Study of Legal, Political, and Security Issues in the Caspian Sea Region and Yugoslavia

Final Editing of the 1982 Memoirs

The Possibility of an Earthquake in the Caspian Sea Due to Excessive Oil Extraction

Full Entry of the Day:

I spent the day at home, conducting research on the legal, political, and security issues in the Caspian Sea region and Yugoslavia. I finalized the introduction of the 1982 memoirs [following the crisis]. Using a portable device, I measured my blood sugar before iftar; it was 77.

Regarding the earthquake in the Caspian Sea two nights ago, researchers have indicated that it may be a result of excessive oil extraction. If this is the case, it could also jeopardize the gas pipeline project. The earthquake was widespread and felt in Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Iran, with a magnitude of over seven on the Richter scale at its epicenter.
