"Totally, as close neighbors, we perceived the events of recent months in Kyrgyzstan with great pain and anxiety. It led to the deaths of hundreds of people, the emergence of thousands of wounded and refugees. Kazakhstan from the first days of crisis renders all possible assistance to the neighboring republic.

The OSCE is ready to make a worthy contribution to this mission. We propose to significantly strengthen the OSCE Centre in Bishkek and its representation in the regions of Kyrgyzstan ", Saudabayev said.
