Poverty Drives Armenian Man to Suicide



Suicide is not news and it happens all the time, but it is even more tragic when the circumstances are so moving.
A 41 year-old ethnic Armenian, Amiran Mkhitarian, a resident of Georgia's capital city Tbilisi, killed himself yesterday, Rustavi-2 TV channel reported. It said abject poverty was the reason that drove the man to committing a suicide...the man killed himself after failing to find money to buy febrifuge medicine for his five year child.
By the way, febrifuge is medicine that decreases fever.

Man, that is just sad. It's a shame to hear about people taking their own lives, whatever the cause.
