I am deeply concerned by Azerbaijan’s decision of gifting pardon to the army officer Safarov. This tragic and awful incident having occurred 8 years ago was a crime that cannot be praised. Such decision of Azerbaijan destroys the trust and doesn’t support the peace,”- said NATO chief secretary Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who is in Yerevan in the framework of regional visit, in the interview with “Freedom” radio station
“It is very important that this event didn’t bring new conflict. Just the opposite is right it is of paramount importance to work on decreasing tension and encouraging peace.” –said Rasmussen.
To the question whether he is going to raise this issue in Baku, Rasmussen answered: “I will raise this question in Baku and will issue my a concrete statement.”
