The week of 30 November-4 November saw the announcement of the military casualties from the 44-day long Karabakh war and Azerbaijan's forces entered Lachin district.
Number of military casualties in war announced
Azerbaijan's Defence Ministry announced that 2783 servicemen were
killed
during the 44-day long Karabakh War between 27 September and 10 November. The independent Caspian Defence Studies Institute also published a similar number, albeit slightly lower. While previously the Azerbaijani government had often underreported casualties, based off of Meydan TV's monitoring of the death toll it seems that the announced total was not manipulated.
Financial relief for fallen soldier's families and wounded
The Azerbaijani government will provide financial support to the families of those soldiers who died in the war, as well as to those wounded. Monthly payments will
range
from 210 to 300 AZN a month. A one-off payment of 11,000 AZN the families of those dead will also be given. Furthermore, the consumer debts of those killed will be
forgiven
.
Azerbaijani army enters Lachin region
The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry reported that, as per the agreement
signed
by Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, its forces
entered
the Lachin region on 1 December. Lachin is located in the south-west of Azerbaijan in a mountainous area. It is bordered by Kalbajar in the north, Khojaly, Shusha and Khojavend in the east, Gubadli region in the south, and Armenia in the west.
