By empty (8/29/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Deputy Foreign Minister Rakhat Aliev, who is also President Nazarbaev\'s son-in-law, told a meeting of a state democratization commission in Astana on August 28 that Britain and the United States have reservations about Kazakhstan\'s bid to chair the OSCE in 2009, Interfax-Kazakhstan reported. \"Certain countries, among which the United States and Great Britain stand out, while generally welcoming Kazakhstan\'s initiative [to chair the OSCE], at the same time view critically the prospects for its chairmanship in 2009,\" Aliev said. The OSCE is expected to make a decision on Kazakhstan\'s bid by the end of 2006.Visit also
