Correction of "mistake" or what Azerbaijan should do to MAIL.RU

29 October 2008 [11:09] - TODAY.AZ
Russian portal MAIL.Ru corrected its "mistake" only after interference of the Azerbaijani embassy to Russia.

Day.Az has received a letter from the adviser of the Azerbaijani embassy to Russia B.Zeynalov, which says:

"In the result of efforts of the Azerbaijani embassy to Russia the link to Armenia-Nagorno Karabakh was removed from MAIL.Ru on October 27 and Nagorno Karabakh was fixed as part of Azerbaijan.

But at the same time the section on Armenia again included the link "Armenia-Artsakh".

Due to this fact the embassy again contacted the website administrators and demanded to remove this link, which was attained by 17:00 Moscow time.

The embassy will watch the situation and spare no efforts for aversion of such facts in the future..."

It should be noted that by removing "Artsakh" from the division "Armenia", MAIL.RU also removed the section Nagorno Karabakh from the section on Azerbaijan.

What has caused the impunity of the Armenian employees of the Russian portal?

Let's take a small trip to history. The events started to develop just six months ago.

First of all, Azerbaijani websites, including Day.Az, APA and Trend were removed from the rating of new agencies of MAIL.RU http://top.mail.ru/Rating/MassMedia/ by different trumped-up reasons.

After the news services of MAIL.RU was launched, it started to export openly anti-Azerbaijani materials, mostly using the pro-Armenian source Regnum.

Thus, the precise and consistent work of the Armenian officials of MAIL.RU is obvious both in neutralization of Azerbaijani mass medias and introducing Armenian interpretation of history to Russian readers.

It is now necessary to consolidate actions of the Foreign Ministry, State Committee for work with Azerbaijanis, residing abroad, Azerbaijani embassy to Russia, famous Azerbaijanis, playing an important role in the sociopolitical life of Russia. It is our duty to avert the actions of MAILRU aimed at distortion of history of Azerbaijan, "Armenization" of Nagorno Karabakh in the eyes of wide public of Russia.

Two months ago Azerbaijan gave a good lesson to the systems of international monetary transfers - Western Union and MoneyGram.

After the facts of cooperation with Nagorno Karabakh separatists were revealed in the work of these companies, it was decided to stop business ties with them on July 30.

The managements of the companies were informed about the claims of the national bank, inadmissibility of cooperation with Armenian separatists of Nagorno Karabakh and they were demanded to stop such events.

The companies accepted all provisions of the National Bank and on August 7 they cut all contacts with the occupied lands of Azerbaijan. They announced that they will not accept such facts in the future.

This issue was settled within 7 days.

And if today Armenian officials of MAIL.RU are openly mocking at us, why not close MAIL.RU from Azerbaijan? We should close delivery of messages from the emails at @mail.ru network to the emails of Azerbaijani users, in other words, to response adequately. After it other Russian sites will assess the degree of the adequate response, before posting anti-Azerbaijani materials.

In other words, we must not stay idle. Otherwise, considering the great number of ethnic Armenians, occupying not the lowest positions in the Russia media area, this process may further develop and then within a short period of time no one in Russia will believe that Nagorno Karabakh is an Azerbaijani land.
