NA Speaker assures: 3,833 casualties on the Armenian side during the  44-day war in 2020 

ArmInfo. During the 44-day war in 2020, 3,833 people died on the Armenian side. This was stated by the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonyan, in a live broadcast on his Facebook page, noting that he wanted to prevent the opposition from exploiting the topic for speculation.

According to him, the opposition is trying to inflate the number of  Armenian casualties during the pre- election period. "They claim that  more than 5,000 people have died, more than 6,000, and so on. But I  must say that this number doesn't correspond to reality. According to  the criminal cases initiated during the 44- day war, the number  stands at 3,833, of which 78 are civilians and 3,755 are military  personnel," Simonyan assured.

He also clarified that this figure does not include missing  servicemen, who number stands at approximately 160. "Stop trying to  gain political dividends at the expense of our deceased and our  pain," Simonyan noted, asserting that the main cause of  wars in  Armenia is the  second President, Robert Kocharyan, and the  opposition as a whole.
