Murders, suicides become inseparable part of our life, ethnographer says
12:44 • 27.06.12

Murders, suicides, pedophilia have become inseparable part of our life, Hranush Kharatyan, ethnographer, told the reporters today.
Part of the cases is being informed by media, the other remains unknown. According to her, studies should be made to make it easy to undertake preventive measures.
“Suicide is a social phenomenon. If to look deeper into the problem, we will see that apathy, nihilism have been deeply enrooted in our public, there is an aggression,” she said.
The ethnographer blamed the TV in the increase of the cases of murder and suicides. “They have their share as well. Of course, people are sad now. Those considered middle class have emigrated and we do not have them now. It is necessary to form a new middle class,” Hranush Kharatyan said.
Singer, composer Artavazd Bayatyan said suicidal and murder manifestations exist in people from the very first day of their birth. “Committing murders, suicides, destroying each other in wars is inside a human being. If a person is told from the childhood that he/she was born in a sin, will go in a sin, it takes to suicide. I do not blame the people who commit suicide,” he said.
Artavazd Bayatyan voiced opinion that people emigrating from Armenia would have committed suicide if they remained in such a country.
“People who emigrated would have either killed someone or committed suicide and we would have witnessed hundreds of thousands suicides. We all are gradually committing suicide by filling ourselves with aggression, evil-mindedness toward the others,” Bayatyan said.
During the recent days several brutal murders and suicides were committed in Armenia.
