    "I'm deeply concerned by Azerbaijan's decision to pardon Ramil Safarov,
    because that decision damages trust," NATO Secretary General Anders
    Fogh Rasmussen said at a joint press conference with Armenian President
    Serzh Sargsyan in Yerevan. Mr. Rasmussen added he will convey this
    message to Azerbaijan's President during his visit to Baku tomorrow.

    The Secretary General added that "the incident that took place eight
    years ago was a crime, and such a crime should not be pardoned."

    NATO Secretary General left several posts on his Twitter page before
    the meeting with the Armenian President.

    "NATO and Armenia are valuable partners. We have an opportunity to
    build an even stronger partnership for the future."

    "There must be no return to conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

    Tensions must be reduced and steps taken to promote regional
    cooperation and reconciliation."

    "The pardoning of officer Safarov by Azerbaijan damages trust and
    doesn't contribute to the peace process"

    "I am deeply concerned by the Azerbaijani decision to pardon officer
    Safarov. The act he committed was terrible crime and should not
    be glorified."

    "We need to break down old barriers of mistrust in South Caucasus,
    build new bridges of reconciliation."

    "Armenia is an important partner to NATO. We value highly your
    contributions to our operations in Afghanistan and Kosovo."

    After talks with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in Yerevan, the
    Secretary General thanked Armenia for its strong contribution to
    NATO-led operations in Afghanistan and Kosovo, which strengthen the
    country's own peace-keeping capabilities.

    He also highlighted NATO's support for Armenia's defence reforms,
    civil defence and disaster relief efforts, stressing that NATO and
    Armenia have already achieved a lot: "Armenia is a valuable partner
    for NATO and NATO is a valuable partner for Armenia. We now have an
    opportunity to build an even stronger partnership for the future. It's
    an opportunity we must seize because we all have to gain and so does
    the region as a whole."
