As the correspondent of Mediamax reports, the court questioned all the doctors, who took part in the complex medical examination. They actually confirmed that during Aghajanian's examination no pathologies were observed, which could cause his present behavior (the accused doesn't speak, move or respond to what is going on in the courtroom). In particular, the supposition of Zhudeks Shakarian, the lawyer of RNK ex defense minister Samvel Babayan, who thinks that the present condition of the accused could be the result of injuries and concussions experienced during war actions in the past, was rejected. The doctors affirm that cranial-cerebral nervous system of the accused is unharmed.

The State Prosecutor Mavr Ghukasian, referring to the results of the medical psychiatric examination, held in Armenia, expressed the opinion that Sasun Aghajanian hears and comprehends everything, but the shame for what he has done makes him keep silent. The psychiatrist admitted such possibility.
