Georgia, Tbilisi, Feb. 17 / Trend N.Kirtzkhalia /
It is vital for Kazakhstan to become the OSCE chair, Democratic Movement-United Georgia leader Nino Burjanadze said.
"I have supported Kazakhstan's presidency," she said at a news conference today. "I stand for the OSCE's active engagement in the problems of member countries."
According to Burjanadze, the OSCE chairman should be informed of the situation prevailing in Georgia, concerning democracy and the situation in the conflict zones.
"The resolution of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict is possible only through dialogue between the Georgian, Ossetian and Abkhazian peoples, but, unfortunately, it is a long process," she said.
Burjanadze also expressed her support her initiatives to hold the OSCE summit in Astana.
"If the OSCE member-states want the organization to cast vote, then they should meet for a debate," she said. "The OSCE needs reform. As for today, there is no real opportunity to take drastic measures due to procedural problems."
OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Kazakhstan's Secretary of State and Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev visited Azerbaijan and Armenia and is currently on an official visit to Georgia under his South Caucausus visit Feb.14-17.
