EU map shows Azerbaijan's NK and Nakhchivan provinces as Armenian territory

29 March 2006 [10:42] - TODAY.AZ
Some parts of Azerbaijan's territories have been shown as a territory of Armenia on the website of the European Union European Commission directorship for energy.

Azerbaijan's province Nagorno Karabakh, which is under occupation of Armenia, the surrounding regions and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic have been shown as the territory of Armenia on the map, in the Gas section of the website.

The Azerbaijani Embassy to Belgium, which has been accredited in the EU, has sent an inquiry to the EU General Directorship of External Relations regarding this issue yesterday. The 3rd secretary of the Embassy Anar Jahangirli told APA that the Directorship contacted the embassy and said the mistake will be corrected.

The website of another European Union organization-European Parliament has also shown Azerbaijan's territory in a wrong way recently. Though the occupied territories of Azerbaijan were not shown as Armenian territory, Nagorno Garabagh province was presented as a separate organization on the website.

After the Embassy's interference in the issue this technical mistake was corrected.
