KAZAKH AMBASSADOR TO UK CALLS THE OSCE STATEMENT ARGUABLE

Published in News Digest

By empty (12/9/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Yerlan Idrissov, ambassador of Kazakhstan to Great Britain, regrets that some estimations of the presidential election in Kazakhstan in foreign media are prejudiced. He has stated this at a briefing in London organised for British MPs. \"The OSCE statement was arguable and not fully balanced,\" - the diplomat says, and, at the same time, \"many Western, particularly, British media covered only the negative part of the OSCE statement ignoring its positive part, as well as estimations by other international observers.

At the same time the diplomat observed that Kazakhstan was a young growing state and therefore not all of its institutions were perfect. But what is obvious is successes of Kazakhstan and its sincere wish to achieve further growth and self-perfection, to eliminate errors including those committed in the election process, from which nobody is secure and which nobody wants to conceal.
