“All the false news from the Azerbaijan side was ignored in the
last court hearings on the case of Gurgen Margaryan’s murder,” the
representative of the Home Affairs Hayk Dekoyan who participates in
the trial declared during today’s meeting with the journalists.

Hungarian officer Zolton Bakoni and the leader of the group Attila
Demeter who are Ramil Safarov’s coursemates gave a testimony in
the last court session. They claimed that there were no quarrels
or conflicts between the Armenian and Azerbaijan officers before
the murder. Azerbaijans’ claims that Armenians made fun of them on
the murder eve do not correspond to the reality. According to their
testimony the fact that Safarov had bought the axe for self defence
is unwarranted.

The next court hearings will take place in Hungary on 4 April in which
Safarov will say his last word and the verdict will be brought on
April 13. Nazely Vardanyan, the representative of Gurgen Vardanyan’s
side and Hayk Demoyan, the Home Affair representative claim that judge
Andreas Vashkut is really objective and due to him the Azerbaijans
failed to put the question into political layer and to view Ramil
Safarov as a conflict victim.

It is due to mention that Ramil Safarov is accused according to 4
points of Article 166 of the Hungarian Criminal Code; he must be sent
either to 10-15 years’ or to life imprisonment.

Hayk Demoyan also informed that the remours about Safarov’s being
transformed to Azerbaijan after the trial are false. Armenian side
thinks that the verdict will harm Aderbaijan’s officers’ reputation
regardless its essence. By the way, Hayk Demoyan appealed not to
follow Azerbaijans’ cheap actions; “Gurgen Margaryan’s murder is a
human tragedy and it can’t be made political. The person offering
money for Safarov’s head has clear intentions.” Aderbaijan will not
forgive Safarov

Ramil Safarav the “hero” of the Hungarian courts during the past 2
years has made interesting discoveries about his country. “Safarov
discovered that the representatives of the Azerbaijan military forces
train in Northern Cyprus. There were many publications in the media in
January. Judging from the last ones the Azerbaijan side realizes its
seriousness and wishes the trial to end as soon as possible.Turkey
may press on Azerbaijan on this score,”said the representative of
the Home Affairs Hayk Dekoyan.
