By Ilhame Isabalayeva - Trend:
Azerbaijan's occupied lands have been shown on Google Maps (a service
from Google) in the Armenian language as territories of the so-called
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
Starting from June 18, the names of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan's
other occupied lands have been shown on Google Maps in Armenian as the
territories of the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the Seismic
Service Center at Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) said.
The ANAS Seismic Service Center, as the seismological centers in other
countries, uses Google Maps in its work, and such provocations against
Azerbaijan by Google cause great concern and are strongly condemned,
according to a message posted on the seismic service center's website.
It was also noted that this is not the first provocation on the part
of Google.
Such things happened before, and after persistent requests from the
Seismic Service Center the names of Azerbaijani territories in the
Armenian language were taken out from the Google Maps.
"With regret, we would like to say that such provocative acts are
periodically taking place on the part of Google," according to the
message.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
