According to Azerbaijan, about 5,000 people have lost their lives in the fighting in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone since September 27. The statement came from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Interfax. "Based on our assumptions, I can say what losses Armenia may inflict. Let's even look at a purely mathematical calculation: 256 tanks were destroyed - this is the figure for yesterday (October 27), this figure is growing every day. Multiply this number by 3-4 people, it is almost a thousand.
In addition, more than 50 infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed - it is clear how many were in them; hundreds of artillery pieces - several in each; six S-300 rigs, about 40 OSA ZRK rigs, TOR, CUB, KRUG rigs; More than 400 trucks were destroyed, most of them by military personnel and ammunition. How many people were killed in the trenches, we crossed these trenches, the line of contact - these shots are on the Internet. That is, according to our information, the losses on the Armenian side can be only five thousand or more, and as a rule, the number of wounded in the war is 2-3 times more, "said President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Interfax and Interfax-Azerbaijan. said.
Touching upon the losses of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the President noted that the losses are minimal, taking into account all factors. "As for our losses, I said we would announce them after the end of the fighting," he said. But I must say that these are significantly less (from the losses of the Armenian side), "he said. "Given the nature of the military conflict, the difficult terrain and the fortifications built by the Armenians for 30 years, I believe that every human life is invaluable, but taking into account all these factors, our losses are minimal," he said
