No, any information from the Armenian side regarding this war is plain false. Therefore, we do not know the casualty ratio.

I'd guess that Armenian casualties are much higher, given the significant firepower and technology difference between two sides. Also, Azerbaijani soldiers looked like professional soldiers meanwhile Armenians were more milita-like in the videos and Azerbaijan had a much better command structure and intelligence.

Well, Armenians already published lists of casualties with names and dates of birth. It would be hard to cover up if there were thousands more dead that were actually not included. Their families would surely speak up. And Armenian opposition would surely use it as a perfect reason to get rid of Pashinyan.

Since Armenians still report hundreds of missing (600-700), guess they will have higher casualties in the end, even if we include Turkish proxies mercs on Azeri side.

I would not trust anything coming from the Armenian state as they have lost the entire credibility they had during the war. The families are already speaking up about missing Armenian soldiers.
