Kazakhstan will assume OSCE Presidency in 2010. For the first
time a CIS member state will preside over the OSCE for a year. The
perspectives of Armenian-Kazakh cooperation were discussed today at
a conference in Yerevan initiated by the Kazakh Embassy in Armenia
and the Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation.
How can Armenia benefit from the OSCE presidency of its partner
country? The OSCE is important to us primarily from the point of view
of the activity of the Minsk Group.
"The OSCE plays a pivotal role in the settlement of the Karabakh
issue. We highly appreciate the mediating efforts of the Minsk Group
Co-Chairs and we are confident that the negotiations should continue
exceptionally in this format," said Victor Biyujov, representative
of the OSCE Division of the MFA Department of Europe.
"Kazakhstan has not undertaken to solve unrealistic issues. We do not
prioritize the protection of the interests of the CIS countries only,"
Kazakhstan's Charge d'Affaires Nurbolat Alinbayev said.
"It's not true that Kazakhstan has a pro-Azerbaijani position in the
Karabakh issue. Kazakhsta's stance is unbiased," Nurbolat Alinbayev
told reporters. There is the Minsk Group to solve this issue, he said,
adding that Kazakhstan is not going to interference in the process. It
will just be glad to help if possible. The representative of Kazakhstan
refrained to comment Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's bellicose
statements.
