Kazakhstan will play more active role in settling the
Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict during the OSCE
chairmanship in 2010.
Official Astana will place special emphasis on soonest solution to
conflicts and other problems in the South Caucasus including energy
and transit-related issues.
Kazakhstan repeatedly demonstrated its support for settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh dispute in the frame of Azerbaijan`s territorial
integrity.
At a conference on perspectives and challenges of Kazakhstan`s 2010
OSCE Chairmanship held recently in Astana, Armenia`s occupation policy
against Azerbaijan was unanimously condemned.
Actions to be taken this year regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
and other disputes will be discussed at a meeting of the OSCE
Permanent Council on January 14 in Vienna.
Kazakh foreign minister and secretary of state Kanat Saudabayev said
his country would make every effort to contribute to strengthening
security and cooperation `from Vancouver to the Far East’.
Kazakhstan took over the OSCE chairmanship from Greece on January 1.
