During the 55-minute hearing held in Hungarian and translated into Turkish the results of the second medical examination were read. To note, the Azeri experts were present at the examination as observers. The court presided by Doctor Andras Vaskuti decreed to postpone the next sitting till September 27, 2005, since the interpreter representing the Armenian party had no appropriate license for making translations, IA Regnum reports.
