YEREVAN, OCTOBER 14, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan lost 431 troops in its latest attack on Armenia in September, the Speaker of Parliament of Armenia Alen Simonyan said.
“Yes, we had losses, our adversary had bigger losses. Yes, we must defend the Republic of Armenia, even by making the [ultimate sacrifice]. I think the Azerbaijani aggression had several goals, a maximum and minimum. The maximum goal was to have maximally large territorial advantage, and the minimum was to test the combat readiness of the Armenian military. The fact that in the very first hours Azerbaijan itself officially announced that it has 70 killed troops shows that the number of their losses is far bigger. I have information that the number of their deaths is 431,” Simonyan said.
