    NAZARBAEV CALLED ON CIS STATES TO OPEN MARKETS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Khazakstan's President Norsultan Nazabaev called on
    CIS countries to open markets and adopt loyal attitude to migrants
    as a possible way of combating crisis. He also called for a joint
    struggle against A/H1N1 virus, RIA Novosti reports.

    Before the start of discussion, Nazarbaev met with CIS Prime Ministers
    and expressed hope for elaborating decisions for enhanced cooperation
    within commonwealth frameworks.

    "Our agenda is long. I'd like to note that combatting crisis will be
    one of our key issues. The most important thing in this respect is
    to open markets between states."

    The next issue to be discussed by Prime Ministers should concern
    unemployment, Nazarbaev said.

    "Commonwealth states should have tolerant attitude to migrants,"
    he stressed, noting that unofficial data estimate over 1 million
    migrants in Khazakstan.

    The President also stressed that deteriorated economic situation
    always increases crime rate, so countries should take joint efforts
    towards combating crimes. One of the agenda issues to be discussed
    by Presidents will be devoted to drug trafficking from Afghanistan,
    with Kazakhstan being a transit country.

    "Our Government has adopted a very serious program and allocated big
    sums to reduce drug trafficking via Khazakstan," Nazarbaev said.

    Prime Ministers, according to Nazarbaev, will also focus on measures
    of combatting A/H1N1 virus, already registered in 41 states. "10
    thousand people all over the world have already been infected, and
    we are expected to launch joint struggle against the strain," he noted.

    "I know Russia has determined the strain, and it would be very good
    if all Governments adopted joint decision for obtaining vaccine,"
    the President added.

    In conclusion, Khazakstan's President stressed the importance of the
    Commonwealth's role. "But for CIS, building independence in our states
    would have been very difficult," he stressed.
