Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev has offered a package of measures
to Azeri President Ilkham Aliyev to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict with Armenia.
The proposals were handed to Aliyev in Baku by the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe’s (OSCE) Chairman-in-Office Kanat
Saudabayev, who was in Azerbaijan on a working visit, chairman of the
Kazakh Foreign Ministry’s International Information Committee Roman
Vasilenko said.
"Kazakhstan is an honest broker and unbiased mediator. We support
the OSCE’s peace efforts and we back the OSCE’s Minsk Group," he said.
Kazakhstan approaches the settlement "from a realistic point of
view," Vasilenko said. "Our task is to maintain positive trends in
the negotiating process," he added.
Saudabayev is currently on a settlement mission in the region.
