A special commission has been set up to investigate the cause of suicide of a 22-year-old Avaz Nabiyev. The commission members include representatives of the Main Military Prosecutor’s Office and the Main Border Guard Directorate at the State Committee for National Security (SCNS).
Avaz Nabiyev was found hanged near the transformer cabin not far from his parents’ house in the morning of August 22.
Avaz Nabiyev had served in the border unit in the Ishkshim district of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO since May 2017.
