BUDAPEST, MAY 11, ARMENPRESS: A Hungarian court trying the case of an Azeri officer charged with hacking to death his Armenian counterpart decided to hold its next session on September 27 after a one-hour-long hearing on May 10.
Hayk Demoyan, a representative of the Armenian armed forces, told Armenpress the court heard the results of the forensic medical examination of the Azeri officer, which he said was somewhat different from the outcome of a previous such examination .
He said some provisions of the second examination refer to the psychological condition of the Azeri officer at the moment of the crime, though, according to Demoyan, the examination’s results are not final. He said according to the Hungarian law, experts conducting the two examinations, have to meet and come out with a final conclusion, otherwise a third examination is possible.
Azerbaijani lieutenant Ramil Safarov used an ax and a knife to kill Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margarian in his sleep early morning on February 19, 2004. Both officers were attending three-month English language training at the Hungarian National Defense University in Budapest as part of the NATO Partnership for Peace Program.
Hungarian police said the murder was committed with “unusual cruelty” – the Armenian officer’s head was nearly cut off – and was witnessed by the victim’s Hungarian roommate who called the police. The Azeri then apparently intended to kill a second Armenian officer, sleeping in a room nearby, but was stopped by a Lithuanian officer, who was awakened by the noise.
