He also said that Azerbaijani troops are likely to have suffered casualties.

During a visit to Moscow late last week Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan had a meeting with his Russian opposite number Sergey Shoigu and presented the situation on the line of contact between Armenian troops in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and along Armenia-Azerbaijan state border.
