YEREVAN. – There was always family violence in Armenia, it has not
grown, and, simply, it is more openly discussed now, psychologist
Samvel Khudoyan stated during a press conference on Monday.

According to him, the high level of family violence in Armenia is
conditioned by the intellectual level of the family members.

Playwright Karine Khodikyan likewise believes this has to do with
the individual’s level of intelligence.

The psychologist is convinced that organizations fighting against
family violence and the media, which could contribute to the formation
of correct system of values, must work hard toward reducing family
violence.
