Kazakhstan, Astana, 2 July / Trend corr. K.Konirova / One of the most priority issues for the OSCE is to solve the so-called frozen conflicts in the Caucasian region.

"OSCE's key task is a conflict, and first of all I mean Caucasus. I believe that OSCE must be involved into settlement of the conflict, rather than to manage these conflicts," Alexander Stubb, OSCE acting Chairman and Finland Foreign Minister, said in the PACE PA 17th session.

"One of the conflicts is the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. We have a special representative in Nagorno-Karabakh and this conflict is one of the most priority issues," Stubb said.

Stubb said there was positive progress in the conflict areas in Pridnestroviye and Moldova.

"Another conflict region is the South Caucasus. Speaking frankly, we failed to reach any progress in these areas and I am concerned with the situation in the South Caucasus, Abkhazia and South Ossetia," Stubb stated.

Stubb called upon countries to be serene and restrained, as well as to keep stability and permanent regulation the situation in the region. "We will carefully observe the situation in the South Caucasus," Stubb said.
