/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The trial over the case of murder of Armenian
officer Gurgen Margaryan by Azeri military Ramil Safarov during their
participation in NATO courses will resume September 27. Armenian MOD
representative for the murder affair Hayk Demoyan reported that in
the course of a recurrent session the Hungarian court will hear the
evidence of second Azeri officer, who participated in the NATO
courses. Armenian officer Hayk Makuchyan will also address the
hearing. Hayk Demoyan, Hayk Makuchyan, Gurgen Margaryan's parents and
lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan will leave for Hungary for participation in
the trial. In Hayk Demoyan's opinion, the trial scheduled in
September will not be the last one, as a third judicial and medical
expert examination is necessary. R. Safarov was recognized compos
mentis by the first expertise. The conclusion said Safarov has
committed the murder in cold blood and compos mentis. The second
expertise results differed from those of the first one: the
conclusion noted certain weakening of Safarov's state of mind at the
moment he was committing the crime. By a court resolution the two
expert groups are scheduled to meet to produce a final conclusion. It
should be noted that Azeri experts were present at the second
expertise, however they did not have a right to influence the process
in any way. In Hayk Demoyan's words, Azeri authorities are trying to
use the evident protraction of the trial to solve domestic political
problems. In his opinion, it is not casual for some Azeri politicians
directly link the intention of Safarov's extradition to Azerbaijan
with Karabakh settlement. It should be reminded that the Hungarian
court has prohibited the Azeri party presenting documents and
materials of propagandistic nature. Hayk Demoyan assured the Armenian
party holds propagates in Hungary before the beginning of the
recurrent hearings. In his words, the local Armenian community
assists it as well. Meetings with Hungarian society members, the
press continue. Hayk Demoyan said that in his opinion «to avoid
tragedies of the kind it is necessary to competently struggle against
them by means of corresponding propaganda and delivering a deserving
counterblow to the Azeri party," Armenpress reported.
