Karen Vrtanesyan: The List Compiled by Razm.info Contains 3290 Names of the Deceased

Military expert Karen Vrtanesyan wrote on his Facebook page: “The criminal group that has seized power in Armenia continues its political strategy of creating information chaos and generating permanent uncertainty. Today, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia reported to Sputnik Armenia that 'as of March 31, 3049 individuals have been recorded as deceased during the recent war in Artsakh.' Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health states that 'as of March 31, 3723 forensic examinations of bodies and parts have been conducted. On the same date, there are 238 samples of bodies and body parts that need to undergo examinations.'

It should be noted that, according to the ministry's claims, 'the 3723 forensic examinations of bodies and parts' do not equate to 3723 deceased individuals.
[Logical question: What does that number mean? Who needs the number of examinations when the public is concerned about the number of deceased?] Moreover, just a few days ago, the Ministry of Health responded to an inquiry by 'Antifeyk', stating, 'As of March 22, 3716 forensic examinations of bodies and parts have been conducted.'

Furthermore, the chief capitulator recently announced that the 'officially known number of casualties is 3250.' I am confident that these ambiguous, contradictory statements, and the circulation of conflicting numbers have one purpose: to confuse everyone and prevent them from having a clear understanding of how many casualties we actually have.

I would like to point out that the list compiled by Razm.info currently contains 3290 names of the deceased, and new names are being added daily. Even if we assume that we have mistakenly counted the names of 15-20 individuals, fine, let’s say 40, although we are meticulously checking, in any case, there are at least 200 more names than the number stated by the Ministry of Defense. And this is considering that there are numerous unverified names from various open sources that we have yet to check, process, and register in our lists.

It is unacceptable that Razm.info, which works only with open sources or directly receives the names of deceased individuals from their relatives, knows more names than the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Health, or the remaining state institutions. These officials have been receiving salaries for their work, there were established staffing tables in the military units, and ultimately, death certificates have been issued to the families of the deceased. How can it be that Razm.info has more names of the deceased than the Ministry of Defense?”
