History of Armenia Part 11: The Conscript Murders

Why are so many Armenian men dying while serving in the Armenian military, far away from the frontlines? 

Correction: 

I said this was part 10, but then we pushed out last month's episode after EVN Report was nice enough to allow us to use their recording space. So yeah, once again, this is not part 10.
