YEREVAN, DECEMBER 12, ARMENPRESS: Hayk Demoyan, a representative of the Armenian defense ministry who represents the interest of the family of Gurgen Margarian, an Armenian officer killed by his Azeri counterpart in Budapest last year, told Armenpress the Armenian side will present’ surprise’ facts to the court which he said will destroy the other side’s arguments.
The trial of Ramil Safarov, an Azeri officer who killed his Armenian classmate Gurgen Margarian in Budapest where they were participating in English-language courses run by NATO-sponsored Partnership for Peace program, will resume on December 15. Hayk Demoyan and another Armenian lawyer, Nazeli Vardanian, have left for Budapest.
The first examination of Safarov only four days after the murder found him guilty of the murder while the second found he was suffering from post-traumatic syndrome when he killed his victim. The latter claim is part of the strategy that the defense has undertaken in an effort to reduce the punishment of the defendant. If found guilty Safarov may face a 15 year prison term or a life sentence.
