/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azeri experts will be allowed to be present at
the examination only with the permission of Hungarian doctors,
however they will be deprived of any possibility to present their
conclusions, lawyer Nazeli Vardanian stated when commenting of the
statement of Safarov’s defender Adil Ismaylov regarding the medical
inspection of his client scheduled for next week, Arminfo agency
reports. “The repeated medical inspection of Ramil Safrarov is to be
conducted next week. Azeri psychiaters are mostly likely to leave for
Budapest to take part in it”, the defender stated. When commenting
to Echo newspaper defender Ismaylov stated that the examination must
be conducted with the participation of the Azeri specialists. “Since
the Azeri experts will be present at the test as observers it is not
ruled out that the final permission for the participation will be given
during the examination process”, Ismaylov noted. In her turn Nazeli
Vardanian reminded that the Hungarian court rejected the petition
for the participation of the Azeri experts in the examination. Thus,
Azeri experts being present at the examination will only have the
possibility to make certain of its results. To remind, February
19, 2004 Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov hacked to death Armenian
officer Gurgen Margarian. Lawyer Nazeli Vardanian is presenting the
interests of Gurgen Margarian and another officer Hayk Makuchian in the
court in Budapest. Safarov is accused due to 166.2 of the Hungarian
Criminal Code providing for punishment up to life imprisonment. The
next sitting of the court is fixed for May 10 and the results of the
medical inspection will be announced. To note, a representative of
Hungarian Ombudsman will also be present at the trial.
