Day.az (Баку), 06.02.2010, Канат Саудабаев: «мы надеемся придать импульс усилиям партнеров, участвующих в процессе решения “затяжных конфликтов”»


Казахстан постарается внести свой посильный вклад в решение «затяжных конфликтов», три из которых находятся в постсоветском пространстве.

Об этом сказал действующий председатель ОБСЕ, министр иностранных дел Казахстана Канат Саудабаев.

Как передает АПА, Саудабаев выразил надежду на то, что Казахстану удастся достигнуть определенного прогресса.

«С учетом исторической общности, ментальной близости Казахстана ко всем сторонам конфликтов, а также высокого авторитета и доверия, которым пользуется среди их народов президент Нурсултан Назарбаев, мы надеемся придать определенный импульс усилиям всех наших партнеров, участвующих в этом нелегком процессе», - заявил Саудабаев в штаб-квартире ООН в Нью-Йорке, где он принимал участие в заседании Совета безопасности.

Действующий председатель ОБСЕ добавил, что именно этим вопросам будет посвящена его поездка в качестве действующего председателя ОБСЕ на Южный Кавказ с 15 февраля.

На постсоветском пространстве остаются неурегулированными конфликты в Приднестровье, Нагорном Карабахе, а также между Грузией и Абхазией и Грузией и Южной Осетией.

Kazakhstan's Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev said here Friday that with continued new threats to global security, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) will step up its effectiveness with the UN and Security Council to tackle and prevent any posing challenges.

"I strongly believe that a better use of the OSCE's capabilities would help the UN and its Security Council to more effectively prevent security threats and respond to them," Saudabayed, whose country holds the rotating OSCE chairmanship this year, said when he was briefing the Security Council on the security cooperation in Europe.

"We also intend to work to strengthen the OSCE, in every possible way, and to enhance its effectiveness and its ability to adequately respond to emerging challenges and threats," Saudabayev said.

He noted that for this to happen, the OSCE needs to become a " meaningful 'platform for common security' in its zone of responsibility."

He reaffirmed Kazakhastan's support behind an array of issues, including non-proliferation, prevention of terrorism and the resolution of protracted conflict, where he noted some were in the post-Soviet area.

"Overall, monitoring and identification of any positive signals or signs of a potential escalation of protracted conflicts as well as the use of preventive mechanisms of political consultations in the OSCE framework will become a key tool during our chairmanship, " Saudabayev said.

The top priority was the "further involvement of the OSCE in the stabilization of the situation in Afghanistan," he noted.

"We plan to focus the organization's efforts on a better protection of Afghanistan's borders with its Central Asian neighbors," Saudabayev said.

Also noting that the focus of the OSCE's chairman-in-office is to enhance dialogue between the OSCE and the UN in various fields, he said Kazakhstan "intends to fully use the capabilities and the potential of the OSCE" in order to facilitate this.

The OSCE, which is the world's largest regional security organization with 56 participating states, work under the commitment to bring security and stability to the region with a focus on early warning, conflict prevention and crisis management.

The OSCE leaders gathered in Helsinki, Finland to sign the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe in 1975, which finally gave birth to the organization. In the declaration, the ministers said they were concerned "that the use of force has not ceased to be considered as an option in settling disputes; that the danger of conflicts between states has not been eliminated, and armed conflicts have occurred even in the last decades."

"The last meeting between the Presidents of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan in Sochi, has given new breath to the Karabakh conflict negotiations," Kanat Saudabayev OSCE Chairman, Secretary of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan said.

"As a regional country we have more opportunities to get closer to the final stage of the Karabakh process. We expect that the conflict solution will be found before we pass the OSCE chairmanship next country," Saudabayev said. Last year, the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia met six times - in Munich, Chisinau, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Prague and Zurich. Meetings in Moscow and St. Petersburg were also in the trilateral format.

"We will do our utmost to resolve the Karabakh conflict. OSCE Minsk Group has now reached the big breakthrough," Kanat Saudabayev said, Trend News reported.

The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in 1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is the world's largest security-oriented intergovernmental organization. Its mandate includes issues such as arms control, human rights, freedom of the press and fair elections. Most of its 3,500-plus staff are engaged in field operations, with only around 10% in its headquarters.

The OSCE is an ad hoc organization under the United Nations Charter (Chap. VIII), and is concerned with early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation. Its 56 participating states are in Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and North America and cover most of the northern hemisphere. It was created during the Cold War era as an East-West forum.
