The OSCE Summit has begun today in astana, Kazakhstan.

In his opening remarks Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said, "We have gathered in Astana for the triumph of sound sense."

The president recalled recent success of his country, which is hosting the summit of the organization after the 11-year break.

"The distinctive feature of this forum is that it is being held in the very heart of Eurasia," Nazarbayev said.

According to Nazarbayev, preserving security does not concern only Europe today, as it overstepped Europe's geographical frames a long ago.

"Eurasian security is no longer a metaphor, but a reality," Nazarbayev underscored, noting the importance of influence of the situation in Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan on common situation in the OSCE area.
