The website Xocali.net published the findings of the study of “list of martyrs” circulated by Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Azerbaijan in early 2014. The list contains the names of 11 thousand people, who according to MOD are the Azerbaijanis who fought and died in the course of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Besides the fact that what the Ministry has published is not the complete list: the losses are underestimated, the list is full of numerous inaccuracies. The website Xocali.net conducted an audit of one of the episodes http://xocali.net/RU/again-list.html

As it is already known, the falsification with the list of Aghdam events of 1992 has been thoroughly exposed by Armenian side http://xocali.net/RU/spiski.html.

The study of the list has revealed that according to numerous Azerbaijani lists, by the way the lists contradict each other, in addition to falsifications and inaccuracies, the amount of the dead don’t match with the advocated number of 613 as well as age-sex ratio.

In January of 2014 the list of “Azerbaijani military servicemen who became martyrs in the course of military operations between Armenians and Azerbaijanis in Nagorno Karabakh and on the state border in 1991-1994,” was published. It is important to pay attention on two things: 1. the notion of “Karabakh war” is put into circulation 2. The list contains the names of military servicemen who fought and died from 1991 to 1994.

For example, the list contains the names of some people who died after 1994 as well as who died out of combat zone and who died from illness. However, this is a topic of separate research.

So, there are two official lists at the disposal of Armenian side: The list of people who died in Khojalu and the list of servicemen who died in the course of military operations during the war. These two lists were compared and it has been revealed that 44 people identified as “victims of genocide” in Khojalu are also on the list of military servicemen, who were mobilized for military service and took part in military operations, including those who died in completely different place and at different time.

Safarov Shahverdi Bahluloglu died in Karintak Aliyev Bakir Shiraslanoglu - in Martakert , Abbasov Elkhan Kamranoglu - Shushi , Guliyev Farhad Safaroglu - in Shahumyan etc. Khudiyev Zahid Bahlul oglu - was mobilized in 1993 and died in Fizuli and Radjabov Jebrail Mehdioglu - died in Khojalu, but in 1991. Mehdiev Fikret Burzuoglu - 28.01.1992, the reason of death is indicated as follows: “died on Agdam -Shusha railroad" - it is noteworthy that there is no railroad there and what railroad they are speaking about is unclear.

Thus, the Armenian side once more has managed to confirm that both lists that are put into circulation by the Azerbaijani side are full of falsifications and inaccuracies, which carry stung propagandistic character and aim to mislead the public.
