In all respects 2010 inspires optimism for Karabakh conflict
settlement, OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Kazakh Secretary of State and
Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev said at the joint press conference
with Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku.

"All the sides should take advantage of the current situation. Success
might be reached if both sides adhere to constructivism," Saudabayev
stated.

He also noted that his regional visit is aimed at studying whole
range of the issue. "There are many threats and challenges in the
world that demand adequate solution and consideration. So-called
unsettled conflicts, including Karabakh issue are urgent. Karabakh
conflict settlement is one of the main priorities of Kazakhstan’s
presidency in OSCE," he added.

"Kazakhstan is ready to work out concrete measures and significantly
contribute to the settlement of the issue. We have held constructive
talks with Elmar Mammadyarov and I intend to meet Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev as well. I will receive advice and recommendations to
be taken as a basis for our future actions," Saudabayev concluded.
