Yerevan, 7 April: It is not ruled out that results of a second
psychiatric examination of Ramil Safarov, murderer of Armenian officer
Gurgen Markaryan, will be known not earlier than at a sitting of the
court on 10 May, lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan, who represents the interests
of the victim, has told Noyan Tapan news agency.

Azerbaijani specialists could take part in the second examination
to be held in Budapest next week only with a permission of Hungarian
medical experts, she said.

Vardanyan recalled that in its time the court had rejected the
Azerbaijani side’s petition to take part in the examination and draw
up a conclusion on its base.

To recap, Ramil Safarov has been recognized mentally sane as a result
of the first psychiatric examination. Experts have been interrogated
in the court. They say that they are ready to defend their conclusion
till the end.
