    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".

    The words "Self Defense Army" have been transposed with "Self-Murder
    [i.e. Suicide] Army". (Credit: German Avagyan)
