Flora Virabyan, 57, a resident of Tsater village of Armenia’s Lori Region, threw herself into the fifty-meter deep canyon, which is located in front of her house, and died Tuesday at around 2:20pm, the Armenian News-NEWS.am Lori Region reporter informs.      

Tsater prefect Bagrat Ghalayan had called the police and informed them of this incident.

Ghalayan told the Armenian News-NEWS.am Lori Region reporter that the woman who had committed suicide was a first-degree disabled person, and she lived with her sister who is disabled, too.

“Their mother had just died [and], probably, this was the reason for [Virabyan resorting to] such step because it was the mother who was taking care of the disabled sisters,” the village prefect said.

The Lori Regional Police Department of Investigation is preparing a report on this incident.
