OSCE has not played positive role in prevention of ethnic clashes in the south of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister Vladimir Norov said at the OSCE summit, NEWS.am correspondent reported from Astana.

As to international commission investigating the events, this group got no powers neither from the UN, nor the OSCE, he noted. “The point is who will consider group’s results and at what level it should be done. We have no response to this question at the moment,” he added.

According to him, it is difficult to claim that the tragedy will not reoccur until those responsible for the July events in Kyrgyzstan are determined.

As NEWS.am reported earlier, ethnic clashes between Uzbek and Kyrgyz residents broke out in Osh and Jalalabad, southern cities of Kyrgyzstan.
