Preliminary investigation of the criminal proceeding initiated on causing conscript serviceman N.G to suicide was completed in General Military Investigative Department of the RA Investigative Committee. 

In the course of the preliminary investigation it was found out that during the period from September 27 to October 11, 2024, while on duty at a combat position, conscript soldier N.G failed to keep a promise he had given to another serviceman, A.Gh; a promise that did not arise from military service duties and was conditioned solely by the latter’s influence and authority, as a result of which A.Gh.  humiliated his honor and dignity.

As a result of the above-mentioned, on November 13, 2024 N.G. committed a suicide by hanging himself.
