US expert: Kazakhstan can contribute to discussion of Afghanistan situation
ANA. October 28. KAZINFORM. /Aigul Tulekbayeva/ Within the framework of the OSCE Kazakhstan can play a significant role in discussion of the Afghanistan problem. Senior Associate of the Carnegie Foundation Martha Olcott has said it at the international conference on Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the OSCE "Challenges and Prospects" today.
She noted that instability in Afghanistan, aggravation of the security situation pose potential risks for Central Asia, Russia and Europe. According to Mrs. Olcott, the discussion of the future of Afghanistan within the framework of the OSCE should be extended through the participation of Kazakhstan that has experience in CICA and SCO.
She emphasized that the states have no equal responsibility for the Afghanistan situation.
"I think that Kazakhstan with its diplomacy and leadership of Nursultan Nazarbayev can help raise awareness of responsibility among other states and all international participants involved in this situation", the expert resumed.
