It is important to make maximum efforts for dialogue in resolving
conflicts in the South Caucasus, and compromise should be reached
between the opposing sides, Kanat Saudabayev, OSCE Chairman-in-Office
and Secretary of State and Foreign Minister of the Republic of
Kazakhstan said in an interview to the Kazakh media outlets, reported
by Azerbaijani news agency APA.

"As the OSCE chairman, we have made many efforts to resolve the
prolonged conflicts in the former Soviet space. Transdnestria,
Nagorno-Karabakh, Georgia's confrontation with Abkhazia and South
Ossetia - all of these conflicts have no easy solutions, especially
for one-year presidency," said he, adding that Kazakhstan continues
to work in this direction.

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan began in 1988 when
Azerbaijan perpetrated pogroms and massacres of Armenianas in
Azerbaijan following an undeclared war against the predominantly
Armenian-populated region of Nagorno Karabakh that left Azerbaijan
defeated.
