YEREVAN. – Two-hundred people commit suicide in Armenia each year and
this means one small village disappears in the country every year,
sociologist Aharon Adibekyan stated during a press conference on
Saturday.
He informed that the most widespread method of committing suicide in
Armenia is hanging – since it is easy to find a rope to hang oneself
with – and jumping off from bridges. In his words, ending one’s own life
with a gun is most common in the US because weapons are sold openly
there, but, in the case of Armenia, solely state officials, or
criminals, commit suicide by the use of weapons.
`Suicides are committed in Armenia by drug overdose as well,’ Aharon
Adibekyan added.
