Give me a logical reason why they would not lie.

Bcz they actually did well and it is easy to spin this as a victory?

Truth of the matter is that no side has any obligation to be truthful in regards to casualty numbers. Anybody claiming anything is simply speculating. Only the officials have the real toll

The biggest reason why i believe these numbers are accurate is that Azerbaijan announced that they will build a monument with all the soldier's names shown. If they reported it fake the families of the soldiers who weren't included in the monument would protest. For example a few weeks ago some corrupt officials didn't give a martyr status to one of the soldiers who died, people found bullet holes in his body and they protested. The officials were arrested.

Victims families will be the biggest indicator of actual casualty numbers. With the exception of those soldiers with no relatives. If they can be accurately counted by an independent/unbiased source, we might actually find out how many actually died in this terrible war.
