The Azeri party is interested in the rapid completion of a trial over
Ramil Safarov accused of a willful murder of an Armenian officer Gurgen
Margaryan, a RA Defense Ministry representative on the Budapest trial
Hayk Demoyan stated.
In Hayk Demoyan's words, the reason is Ramil Safarov's affidavits,
according to which the Azeri servicemen are trained on the territory of
the North Cyprus. "If Ramil Safarov had been in Azerbaijan, he would
have had to face court martial", the representative of RA Defense
Ministry stated having added that Safarov's utterances had already
had a negative response in Azerbaijan.
In the course of a press conference the outcomes of a current, sixth
sitting of the trial on the case of the murder of the Armenian officer
Gurgen Margaryan held in Budapest March 7 were presented.
According to Hayk Demoyan, the sitting has put an end to the history
of a two-year shameless lie of the Azeri party. "The two years
of the trial may be called Ramil Safarov's period in Azerbaijan",
Demoyan said.
The injured party's lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan informed that testimonies
of the two Hungarian officers - Zoltan Balkoni and Attila Demeter -
had been listened in the course of the sitting. According to the
witnesses, there were no conflicts between the Armenian and Azeri
servicemen during the English courses. To remind, the Azeri party
insisted that one of the motives of Gurgen Margaryan's murder had
been the provocative behavior of the Armenian servicemen, who had
allegedly insulted the Azeri officers.
The conclusion made by the third expert group was also heard at
the sitting. In Nazeli Vardanyan's words, there was a psychologist,
psychiatrist and stressologist in the expert group. As it is known,
the third group was to compare the materials of the first two
medical examinations and reveal the reason for disparity between the
conclusions of the first and second expert groups. The third expert
group came to the conclusion that the accused was psychically healthy,
and he had committed a premeditated murder.
The last sitting on the case of the Gurgen Margaryan's murder will be
held April 4, in the course of which representatives of prosecution
and defense will speak, and then Ramil Safarov will get the floor.
The trial will deliver a verdict April 13.
The press conference's participants refrained from making prognosis
on the precise term of the criminal's punishment. "For us it is not
important how many years Ramil Safarov will stay at prison. It is a
principle: the Azeri army's officer is condemned as a criminal, who
can murder a sleeping man", Hayk Demoyan stressed. He does not doubt
that the trial's verdict will be just.
