The Casualties of War: An Excess Mortality Estimate of Lives Lost in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

Ariel Karlinsky and Orsola Torrisi · 2023

Catalogue summary

Using vital-registration trends from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Artsakh, the authors estimate excess mortality during the 2020 war and identify the age and sex groups bearing the greatest losses.

Why this matters

The method supplies a transparent estimate where official counts are incomplete and makes the human cost of the conflict comparable across all affected populations.
