YEREVAN, February 16. /ARKA/. Armenia supports the proposal of
Kazakhstan on the conduction of OSCE summit at the end of 2010,
said Edward Nalbandyan, Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"We also welcome the idea of conduction of informal meeting of OSCE
Foreign Affairs Ministers in July in Kazakhstan. During informal
discussions the agenda of the summit will be more accurate", said
Nalbandyan during the meeting with Kanat Saudabayev, Chairman of OSCE.
Kanat Saudabayev will visit Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan on
February 14-17, 2010. On Monday Saudabayev arrived to Yerevan with
two-day visit. He met with Serzh Sargsyan, President of Armenia and
Hovik Abrahamyan, Speaker of Armenian National Assembly.
Saudabayev reminded that already 11 years passed from the last OSCE
meeting in Istanbul. During this period many new challenges and
threats appeared in the world.
"One of the threats is terrorism. Unfortunately a number of conflicts
are not solved yet. New conflicts appeared. Afghanistan continues to
remain supplier of drugs and terrorism. There are also issues related
to the structure of European security", said Saudabayev.
These issues should be discussed by OSCE. Norsultan Nazarbayev,
President of Kazakhstan considered that representation of Kazakhstan
should chair OSCE meeting.
