In all respects 2010 inspires optimism for Karabakh conflict settlement, OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Kazakh Secretary of State and Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev said at the joint press conference with Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku.
“All the sides should take advantage of the current situation. Success might be reached if both sides adhere to constructivism,” Saudabayev stated.

He also noted that his regional visit is aimed at studying whole range of the issue. “There are many threats and challenges in the world that demand adequate solution and consideration. So-called unsettled conflicts, including Karabakh issue are urgent. Karabakh conflict settlement is one of the main priorities of Kazakhstan’s presidency in OSCE,” he added.

“Kazakhstan is ready to work out concrete measures and significantly contribute to the settlement of the issue. We have held constructive talks with Elmar Mammadyarov and I intend to meet Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev as well. I will receive advice and recommendations to be taken as a basis for our future actions,” Saudabayev concluded.
