I'm inclined to more or less believe it's accurate or at least in the right direction too. Don't forget that the 1500 casualty figure for Armenians is a TOTAL which means combat + non-combat casualties. The Azerbaijan 4500 number is only those that were not caused by us, meaning non-combat. Considering combat deaths, the Azerbaboon death toll will rise.

Hey on the English Wikipedia state Armenia has operated 45 T-80 tanks since 2008, citing to "Jane's World Armies Armenia, 2011" (not available online). Could that be accurate? I almost yelled out loud in class when I saw it. Yet another amazing feat by Armenia: winning an arms race against the West's oil and gas exporting darling!

Federate: I hope you're correct about that chart. If the figures are accurate, then Defense Minister Ohanyan and the Armenian government have succeeded in their stated goals of combating non-combat deaths in our Armed Forces. There's always room for improvements, but these numbers are an encouraging step in the right direction.

It has a graph so it must be accurate!
Those figures are probably at the very least rounded up or down to the nearest hundred. Some snot-nosed kid could have made up that entire graphic on their Nana's computer. It doesn't even report the sources of the data.

ԻՆՖՈԳՐԱՖԻԿԱ. հայկական ու ադրբեջանական զինված ուժերի կորուստները վերջին տարիներին

eMedia.am, 18.09.2012 | Ներկայացնում ենք 2009-2012 թթ. ադրբեջանական ու հայկական զինված ուժերում զոհերի ինֆոգրաֆիկան (սեղմեք նկարը մեծացնելու համար)։
Հայաստանի Հանրապետության Զինված Ուժերի ու ԼՂՀ Պաշտպանության Բանակի զոհերը հաշվարկված են մեկ ցուցակով։

Հայկական ուժերի կորուստներն՝ ըստ Հայաստանի Պանշտպանության նախարարության տվյալների ու ամփոփումների։

Ադրբեջանական կողմը չի հայտնում կորուստների բազմաթիվ դեպքերի մասին ու չի ներկայացնում զոհերի տարեկան ամփոփում։ Ադրբեջանական կողմի զոհերի հաշվարկման ընթացքում հաշվի են առնվել միայն Բաքվի՝ պաշտոնապես ընդունված զոհերը։ Այսպես, եթե, օրինակ, Տավուշի սահմանին հունիսյան բախումներին, ոչ պաշտոնական տվյալներով, զոհ է գնացել մինչև 25 մարդ, բայց Բաքուն ընդունում է միայն 5-ը, հաշվարկվում է 5 զոհ։ Ադրբեջանական զոհերի թիվը, հնարավոր է, էապես գերազանցում է նշված թվին։

Thanks... *grumble* that was tortured reading for me, but this is just the media source that displayed the graphic. It does not reference the data source. I.e. where did the figures contained within the graphic come from?
