    OSCE Chairman Kanat Saudabayev's first visit to South Caucasus:
    opportunities and forecasts."

    agreements. I think Kazakhstan will lay emphasis on this. Kazakhstan's
    position is: territorial integrity is of primary importance,"
    Stamkulov said.

    According to him, all that has been done by the OSCE and international
    community to resolve the problem will be used.

    official of the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reported that Kanat
    Saudabayev ill be on a visit to the South Caucasus on February 14-17.

    "During his visits to Baku, Yerevan and Tbilisi he will hold meetings
    with the leaders of the three states, Parliament Speakers and leaders
    of political parties," he said.

    The sides will discuss problems of security and stability in the South
    Caucasus, aid in settling the regional conflicts, enhancement of the
    OSCE's role in resolving the problems.

    Abdrakhmanov stressed that issues of assisting the settlement of
    protracted conflicts in the OSCE territory and of enhancing South
    Caucasus security are the focus of the Kazakhstan's presidency.

    "This is the reason why the incumbent chairman intends to visit the
    region first," he said.
