    Azeri officer's hearing due late September

    Baku, July 29, AssA-Irada

    The next hearing on Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov, charged with
    murdering his Armenian counterpart Gurgen Markarian during NATO
    courses in Hungary for insulting Azerbaijani martyrs, will be held in
    Budapest on September 27. Azerbaijani and Armenian military officers,
    who attended the NATO courses together with Safarov, will testify in
    court. Armenian officer Ayk Makuchian, who claims the Azerbaijani
    officer had made an attempt on his life, will also participate in
    the process, Armenian news agencies reported.

    Forensic expertise was carried out twice over the past year. One of
    them suggests that Safarov was allegedly in psychologically healthy
    condition when committing the crime, while the second one - that he
    murdered the Armenian officer in a 'state of affect'.

    The Armenian side has suggested that another forensic expertise be
    held. The Hungarian court is expected to pass a decision on whether or
    not both expertise groups should meet to arrive at a final conclusion.*
