PanARMENIAN.Net - Name of Neftchilar Avenue of Baku has been shown on Google Maps in Armenian language, Azerbaijan Press Agency reports citing ICT Information Center.

According to the information, the mentioned fact can be understood as informational provocation against Azerbaijan, living in state of war as a result of military aggression of Armenia.

“Such attitude of Google - the world leader in electronic cartography, toward an independent Azerbaijan is unacceptable,” the message says.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies Mushfig Amirov noted that the ministry was aware of this issue: ‘The Ministry has already addressed the Google and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry for elimination of this problem. I think the problem will be solved soon. Such a case is not the first. Every time Azerbaijan addresses the relevant organizations and the error is corrected’.
