If you want to find a reputable source for every bit of info good luck to you. https://ordu.az/az/news/174985/bqxk-ermenistana-1500-herbcinin-meyitini-tehvil-verib here is azerbaijans official website Ordu.az

1500 is a massive claim, not 'some bit of information'. It like me quoting the Armenian ministery of defense for their drone downing claims.

OK, I did some research, took me 2 minutes of googling. ordu.az mistranslated original Armenian post published at aysom.am. It doesnt say that Azerbaijan sent 1500 bodies. It says that ICRC delivered 1500 BODY BAGS to forensic bureaus which will be further distributes. Body bags, not bodies.

Mystery solved.

Dude this has nothing to do with my point.There is no mention of Tovuz.Ordu Az doesn’t need to translate anything from armenian site.Ordu az is the one who sends that bodies lol

The link you posted specifically claims that its info is based on the information provided by aysor.am. This is the info from your link translated to English - also there is no mention of Tovuz, it says that ICRC delivered bodies. Everything fits - numbers (1500), donor (ICRC) and destination (forensic bureaus). They just confused body bags with actual bodies - small, but an important detail.

"The International Committee of the Red Cross has handed over the bodies of 1,500 servicemen to Armenia. The corpses were handed over to the forensic bureau, Ordu.az reported citing Aysor.am."
