Armenia has occupied the 56th place in the world by the number of deliberate murders, director of the "Sociometer" centre for sociological research, Aharon Adibelyan, said at today's press-conference.
"The total of 73 murders were registered in Armenia in 2014, 20 of which the grave ones. There are numerous reasons of such a number of murder cases in our country. In particular, first of all, I mean the high level of aggression in the Armenian society stemming from the social reasons. Unfortunately, sometimes this aggression has harmful consequences", -he said.
The second reason is self-abandonment of many potential murderers, which sometimes feel sorry after committing a crime. The third reason is today's Armenian mentality which supposes settlement of conflicts through violence.
The sociologist thinks that upbringing of people since their tender age is panacea that may promote to avert violence and murder cases in Armenia.
To recall, according to UNODC report for 2014, 2,8 cases of murder for 100 thsd people were registered in Armenia, 2 cases in Azerbaijan, 4 - in Georgia and 11,2 - in Russia. African countries occupy the first places of the "rating".
