Armenian gov believes "Artsakh" is a separate country and doesn't count dead soldiers of Artsakh that is where the trickery is happening. Armenia is only counting losses of the Armenian Armed Forces. Even then they are hiding dead soldiers here and there.
I think Armenia+ imaginary state of Artsakh lost well over 10k soldiers.
I think they will cook the books however and whichever ways they can, when all is said and done i expect a number close to 20k dead. The armenian political spectrum is as corrupt and degenerate as they come.
How many videos did we watch of armenians dumping dead armenian soliders in pits. Some of these pits had a tens of armenians dumped into them. These pits will resurface by the armenians years later and be claimed as a genocide committed against them.
