    NESTLE APOLOGISES TO AZERBAIJAN

    Food giant Nestle faces a boycott in Azerbaijan after information about
    countries around the world on a CD-ROM given away with a breakfast
    cereal caused outrage there.

    The CD-ROM said that Azerbaijan had started a war against neighbouring
    Armenia and that the hotly disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh
    belonged to Armenia.

    The BBC reports that the Swiss-based multinational food company
    has issued a formal apology to Azerbaijan, withdrawn the cereal and
    promised to seize the offending CDs.

    Conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the early 1990s over
    Nagorno-Karabakh killed an estimated 30,000 people. Hundreds of
    thousands of refugees were created on both sides.

    And despite a peace deal in 1994, the situation remains tense and
    volatile.

    The Azeri government vowed to take action, and there has been
    widespread talk of a public boycott, despite Nestle's apology.
