The rumors on the participation of Kazakh Foreign Minister, OSCE Chairman-in-Office Kanat Saudabayev in the sexual scandal in Turkey accounts for Kazakhstan’s chairmanship in OSCE, a diplomatic source in Kazakhstan informed NEWS.am.

According to the sources, Saudabayev’s “involvement” in a sexual scandal is due to Kazakhstan’s successful chairmanship in OSCE and its principled stand on many issues.

“The scandal may be provoked by those, displeased with this fact, including Turkey, where it broke out,” the sources said.

They considered Saudabayev’s participation in the sexual scandal unlikely, taking into account his diplomatic experience and many years’ activities abroad.

“Kanat Saudabayev is a very experienced diplomat to get into a scrape,” they stressed.
