Armenia's Foreign Minister visited Norway 
Armenias utenriksminister på besøk i Norge
The Ministers signed a bilateral Readmission Agreement. 
Under besøket ble det undertegnet en bilateral tilbaketagelsesavtale.
Minister Nalbandian invited his Norwegian counterpart to pay an official visit to Armenia. 
Utenriksminister Nalbandian inviterte sin norske kollega til å besøke Armenia.
“We value our relations with Norway and look forward to raising our cooperation to a new level,” said Minister Nalbandian. 
- Vi verdsetter våre forbindelser med Norge og ser frem til å styrke samarbeidet, uttalte Nalbandian.
The Ministers also exchanged views on the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.

Concern over tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan 
Urovekkende spenning mellom Armenia og Aserbajdsjan
“I have followed with increasing concern the growing tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the past few days,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
- Jeg har med stigende uro fulgt de siste dagenes økende spenning mellom Armenia og Aserbajdsjan, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The recent upsurge in tension followed the extradition from Hungary to Azerbaijan on 31 August of Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani army officer convicted of murder, to continue serving his prison sentence in Azerbaijan. 
Bakgrunnen for utviklingen er at en drapsdømt aserbajdsjansk offiser 31. august ble utlevert fra Ungarn til Aserbajdsjan for videre soning av sin fengselsstraff.
During a training course in Budapest in 2004, carried out under the auspices of NATO’s Partnership for Peace programme, Safarov killed an Armenian officer, a fellow course participant. 
Den aserbajdsjanske offiseren drepte en armensk kursdeltaker under et kurs i regi av Natos Partnerskap for Fred (PfP) i Budapest i 2004.
On his return to Azerbaijan Safarov was pardoned and treated like a hero. 
Aserbajdsjaneren ble ved hjemkomsten benådet og hyllet.
Armenia has reacted strongly to the pardon and the incident has served to intensify already existing tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia. 
Benådningen har utløst sterke reaksjoner blant annet fra armensk hold og skjerpet spenningen mellom Aserbajdsjan og Armenia.
