Sociologist: 195 cases of suicide reported in Armenia in 2011

According to official data, 195 cases of suicide were reported in Armenia in 2011, sociologist said.

As Aharon Adibekyan told a press conference, teenagers and middle-aged people usually take the step, adding that 8 out of 10 change their mind after physiological assistance.

Psychologist Mihrdat Madatyan, in turn, deemed psychological indifference as one of the reasons behind cases of suicide.

He further noted teenagers as a most vulnerable group, stressing the need for parents to help their children in overcoming obstacles.
