Karabakh NGOs urge Armenian TV channels to replace NKAO maps by NKR ones

December 10, 2008 - 13:38 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Nagorno Karabakh non-governmental organizations sent a letter to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan with a request to replace the image of NKAO on the maps in Armenian TV channels by images of Republic of Armenia and NKR.



The letter says, in part,



"The national liberation war for Artsakh ended in a glorious victory 14 years ago. Removing the artificial borders imposed on the Armenian people, the NKE constitution fixed the sovereign frontiers of the Armenian lands won by the best sons of our nation.



The Armenian people proved that Azerbaijan's attempts to perpetrate genocide will never remain unpunished…



The map of NKAO we can every day see on the Public Television of Armenia offends the memory of our heroes. We do urge to replace it by the map of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic."
