Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Restoration of names of occupied Azerbaijani
regions depends on the Azerbaijani users of Google Maps.
Delta Telecom's general director Ramazan Veliyev informs that the
border of Azerbaijan on the map of Google Maps is not broken - just
the names of the occupied cities and regions of Nagorno Garabagh have
been changed.
"It happened because of the lack of full-scale digital map of
Azerbaijan by the time of creation of Google Maps, and in this
connection the e-map of Azerbaijan is represented on this resource in
an open form that allows Internet users registered in Google Maps to
make changes in the map, in particular in names of cities and regions
of the country and the Armenians took advantage of that. Currently,
on our part work is underway in this direction, and the more Azeris
will be registered on the website and propose the issue of renaming
of names of cities and regions of Nagorno Garabagh and vote for their
change, the faster this problem will be solved," he emphasized.
Veliyev says that Turkey, Abkhazia and other countries observing
conflict on the basis of territorial integrity are currently
experiencing a similar problem.
The garbled names of Armenia-occupied cities and regions of Azerbaijan
have been revealed in the map of Google Maps in 2010, and in this
connection the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology of
Azerbaijan applied officially to the International Telecommunication
Union and management of search system Google.
