With the help of special buttons it is possible to anonymously enter information about the violations practiced against you or your relatives in the RA armed forces or Fatality cases recorded in the RA Armed Forces after 1994. This information, after being reviewed by the website administration, will be included in the website and in the database with the tags Verified and Unverified. (Img. 3)

The first chart is a visualization of fatal incidents by their date, place and reasons. Please, note that this chart reflects data uploaded to this website and should not be considered a comprehensive assessment of all fatalities in the Armenian military.The second chart shows the geographical distribution of the fatal incidents by years. It is necessary to mention that the map shows only the geographic place of fatal incidents and does not aim at stressing the current state of Armenian borders.

It must be noted that the numbers in the interactive charts are subject to change. As a result of receiving new information about new data, details about the reasons of the mentioned incidents, the digital data can be changed which consequently will change the information in the graphic.
