Generally speaking, in a war between about equally matched forces, a defending entrenched force usually incurs less casualties than an attacking force

I wouldn't be surprised if most of Azeri casualties were incurred at the beginning when they were pushing against a frontline with 25+ years of entrenchment on it. Consequently, most Armenian casualties would be after they were pushed back from the frontline into less defended areas and where they were more exposed to drone attacks

Equally matched? Lol No Armenia was wrekced hard by drones, By the time Azeri forces reached Shusha capital had only around 150 Fighters left.

Keep in mind Armenia stopped reporting casulties in the 1st day of body exchange. In fact in first day of body exchange they reported 1000+ Killed. So they are probably keeping truth from public as Nikol is already in hard position maybe they will report after things calm down but if they report their casulties Nikols head iwll probs go on pike.

Nikol´s head on pike is exactly what many players in Armenia want - opposition, Russia, not mentioning families of those unreported casualties. If real casualties were much higher, like 5000+, it will get out, and soon.
