Yesterday, Nikol Pashinyan announced three reasons for suicides in the army, including getting into debt by betting.
I wonder if there is any clear, exact, proven statistic that x percent of suicide cases were the result of betting. Are there concrete proven cases, or is it just a peculiar “hint” to investigative bodies to attribute possible cases to gambling? Probably the next statement will be that “suicide is in the heads of these people”.
