The Human Rights Defender of Artsakh Artak Beglaryan reports that number of credible reports have been received, indicating that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces are attempting offensive operations in uniforms of Armenian Armed Forces.

In Beglaryan's words, with this Azerbaijan pursues several goals - to confuse the Armenian soldiers and succeed due to that, to artificially reduce the number of own casualties and hide the true number, as well as present them as casualties of the Armenian Forces during exchange of corpses.

"According to soldiers who witnessed this, Azerbaijan left around 40 corpses in Armenian uniform during an offensive operation that was stopped two weeks ago in the direction of Mataghis. Considering this, it could be that the number of such casualties is large. Moreover, it is probable that some of them are mercenary terrorists, considering the fact that no one will probably come after their corpses. In all cases, I am convinced that when bodies begin to be exchanged, it will be possible to prove the origin of these corpses through a professional methodology," Beglaryan said.
