Baku. Lachin Sultanova â€“ APA. Azerbaijani political analysts held discussions entitled â€œOSCE new chairman Kanat Saudabayevâ€™s first visit to the South Caucasus: opportunities and prognoses. According to APA, counselor of the Kazakh embassy in Baku Shamil Stamkulov reminded about the priorities of his country in OSCE chairmanship and said it would give special attention to the solution to frozen conflicts. â€œThese issues will be discussed in Azerbaijan at first. It has great political meaning that the chairman made his first visit to Azerbaijanâ€. The diplomat said first of all, the issue of finding dialogue formula between the communities would be discussed.

Political analyst Fikret Sadikhov said it was not likely that Kazakhstan could change the situation. â€œOur main expectation is the release of seven regions around Nagorno Karabakhâ€.

Zardusht Alizadeh considers that concrete model of autonomy should be proposed to the Nagorno Karabakh Armenians that both communities will have effective opportunities for co-existence. He called on everyone to be realistic and said he didnâ€™t expect significant progress from the Kazakhstanâ€™s chairmanship in OSC.

Rasim Aghayev said that Kazakhstan got a chance to show itself as an important actor. Oqtay Sadikhzadeh said contradictions in the OSCE were delaying the conflict solution. The analyst said Azerbaijan became victim of double standards of the international law and complained that the international documents had no exact mechanism.
