WHO website shows Garabagh as part of Armenia
The website of the World Health Organization (WHO) has indicated
Azerbaijan's Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh region as Armenian
territory.
The distortion could be seen by accessing relevant links on the www.who.int web-page. The map of Azerbaijan shows the country's territory without the Armenia-occupied region. Upper Garabagh is indicated as Armenian territory on the map uploaded on the website's section on Armenia instead. One can acquire proof of this by logging on to www.who.int/countries/arm/en/index.html.
A spokesperson for the WHO European regional office Lyuba Negro has told the Baku-based APA news agency that all the maps of countries posted on the organization's website had been derived from the United Nations web-page but pledged to scrutinize the matter.
The WHO Director-General Margaret Chan is due to visit Azerbaijan from January 30 to February 2.
