Photographer German Avagyan and graphic designer Varpet Onik
(Hovhannisyan) have uploaded a few photo-based art works on their
respective Facebook pages following the second reported case of
suicide in the Armenian army this past week.
As previously reported, according to an official statement by the
Armenian defense ministry, on Oct. 12, in one of the military units
in Nagorno-Karabakh in the north, Armenian conscript Yurik Nersisyan,
19, while on duty on the front line, shot and killed himself with
his own gun.
While, on Oct. 9, another draftee, Vladimir Asatryan, 19, also while
on guard duty reportedly shot and killed himself in another military
unit also in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Headline photo by German Avagyan reads "suicide" in Armenian which
literally translates to "self-murder". Avagyan has separated the two
components with an emphasis on the word "murder".

[i.e. Suicide] Army". (Credit: German Avagyan)
