    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The recurrent court sitting on the case of Azeri
    officer Ramil Safarov accused of the murder of Armenian officer
    Gurgen Margarian was held in Budapest yesterday. According to Azeti
    lawyer Adil Ismaylov, the court decreed to postpone the sitting
    till December 15. The postponement was caused by the disagreement
    of the experts on Ramil Safarov's psychological state. The opinion
    of three Hungarian experts, who were carrying out the examination,
    differed and the court set another examination. To remind, the
    previous court sitting was held on May 10, 2005. As reported by
    AzerTage news agency, yesterday's sitting was opened by presiding
    Judge Anrdas Vaskuti. He read the request of the Armenian attorney
    to involve an Armenian expert in the examination process. The request
    was declined over the possible retardation of the process. The letter
    sent by the Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary and reporting that witness
    Anar Aliyev will not give testimony over illness was also read. A
    witness from Lithuania did not appear either, however his testimony
    was read. The court heard the evidence by witness from the Armenian
    part Hayk Manucharian. Then it proceeded to the outcomes of the
    examination. To remind, the first examination was made immediately
    after the tragic incident. The second one was carried out later with
    the participation of Azeri observers. Since the opinion of the two
    expert groups differed fundamentally the Judge set another examination
    and declared that the next court sitting is fixed for December 15,
    2005. Members of the Azerbaijani Embassy, representatives of the Azeri
    Diaspora, sportsmen and students were present in court. To remind,
    the trial of Ramil Safarov started last November. He is accused
    of murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian (February 19, 2004)
    during NATO English courses in Budapest. The previous court sitting
    took place on February 8, 2005. Ramil Safarov is accused according
    to the Article 166.2 of the Hungarian Criminal Code (murder with
    aggravations) calling for deprivation of liberty with a term of 10-15
    years or life imprisonment.
