29 March 2006 [15:30] - TODAY.AZ
Mistake at the EU Comission website, where Nagorno Karabakh was shown as an Armenian territory, is fixed, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Benelux and EU countries, Arif Mammedov told.

After the tough reaction from the Azerbaijani side, EU Comission representatives have admitted the mistake committed by some of its employees, he said. Admittedly, mistakes on the map were committed not only towards the Azerbaijani territory but also the Balkan states and the Palestinian autonomy.

"Literally 1, 5-2 hours from our demand these maps will be taken off the website. They have apologized and promised to investigate the issue. This employee will be probably punished or fired," Mammedov said, adding that all maps were taken for the revisal from the website.

An appeal was send to the EU General Directorate on international relations considering the fact that EU Comission website's on energy Gas section showing the pipeline route depicted Nagorno Karabakh, adjacent regions and Nakhcivan as an Armenian territory, Trend reports.
