The committee said 191 Armenians remain missing, including 172 military personnel and 19 civilians.
The 44-day war ended in Azerbaijan’s victory. Azerbaijani officially reported losing more than 2,900 servicemen.
The committee’s clarification came days after Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturian said during an official visit to the Czech Republic that the Armenian side had suffered 4,800 deaths in the war. His office later acknowledged a “mistake” and corrected the figure.
The number of Armenian war casualties has remained a subject of debate six years after the conflict, with various officials citing different figures over the years, ranging from 3,755 to more than 4,000.
Opposition members often round the figure up to 5,000 deaths when criticizing the government’s handling of the war. Government officials, in turn, accuse the opposition of deliberately inflating the death toll.
Armenian human rights activists have called on the authorities to publish a complete list of war casualties to end the dispute.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian has maintained that the authorities are not concealing the data and that the names of those killed are held by the National Foundation For Servicemen Insurance.
However, the list published on the foundation’s website cannot be considered complete because it contains no information about civilian victims and omits soldiers who had no beneficiaries for compensation, including former orphanage inmates who had no families.
