    TRIAL OF MURDERER OF ARMENIAN OFFICER TO CONTINUE SEPTEMBER 27


    28.07.2005 05:28

    /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.
