PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan has asked Google to remove the Armenian names of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) settlements from Google Maps, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Leyla Abdullayeva said on Thursday, December 23, Trend reports.

Abdullayeva claimed that Google Maps is currently using the "distorted toponyms in Armenian" alongside the "official names in the Azerbaijani language", although Artsakh has always been populated by ethnic Armenians.

The spokesperson noted that Baku has now sent a letter to the company with a list of names Azerbaijan would like to see on the map.
