The number of victims in war circulated by different circles do not correspond to reality, Armenia’s vice prime minister Tigran Avinyan stated at the NA today.

“They are exaggerated. So far we have 3,439 retrieved bodies of which 766 have not been identified yet,” he said, adding that the final list will be published.

The vice PM stated that there are missing as well but added that he would not state the concrete number of either missing or victims.

“After we will have the final number it will be presented in a full report by the Ministry of Defense. The number of casualties will not surpass 4,000,” he said.
