14 January 2010 12:46 (UTC +04:00)

Baku. Victoria Dementyeva â€“ APA. Chairman-in-office of the OSCE and Secretary of State and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kanat Saudabayev made statement at the 789th meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, APA reports.
Assisting in resolution of â€œprotracted conflictsâ€ remains a priority
for any Chairmanship and we shall endeavour to do all we can to make a
contribution to this difficult process. At the same time, our Organization
must try to find a way of preventing the emergence of similar conflicts
which result in human tragedy and humanitarian disasters.
To that end, my first visit as Chairman-in-Office is scheduled for
mid February to the countries of the South Caucasus. I would be grateful
for any recommendations you might have and for your help and ideas in
resolving the problems concerned with the conflicts there.
