MP: Secret network in Google conducts Armenization of part of
Azerbaijan's territory
Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug. 17 /Trend, K.Zarbaliyeva/
A secret network is dealing with linking part of Azerbaijan's
territory with Armenia and conducting Armenization of Azerbaijani
toponyms, MP Aydin Mirzazade told Trend, commenting on distortion of
facts and presentation of Azerbaijani territories as Armenian lands in
"Google Earth".
Recently the territory of Ordubad and Sederek districts of Nakhchivan
Autonomous Republic, including the Hegram village, were noted as the
territory of Armenia on this website.
Mirzazade does not believe that the German or Japanese experts are
engaged in falsifying the map of Azerbaijan, noting that it is
profitable for Armenia and pro-Armenian nationalist circles.
"They are trying to conduct Armenization of the territory of
Azerbaijan and our toponyms.
Saying that the Azerbaijani public has been concerned over this
problem for long, Mirzazade stressed that in books and on maps issued
by printing companies of foreign countries, in Internet search
engines, part of Azerbaijan's territory is shown as the territory of
Armenia, Azerbaijani toponyms are shown in Armenian language.
"If such facts would be detected only in some cases, it would be
possible to call it accidental, but it has become systemic. There are
hundreds of such facts. After appeals of citizens and state agencies
of Azerbaijan, developers of these maps promptly begin to make changes
and apologize to Azerbaijan," said Mirzazade.
He believes that the true solution to the problem is operationability
and fairness.
"While detecting such cases, it needs to appeal and point to the
truth. I believe that this process will take a lot of time. We will
many times face with the falsification of Azerbaijan's map. We must be
careful and exercise efficiency, must appeal to the executive
structure of the Google and require the elimination of errors," said
the MP.
