The Office in Baku acknowledged that the Geneva-based organization distorted the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in the map posted on the website.

The representative office has informed the head office about the problem.

The head office said major maps of the website show Nagorno Garabagh as a territory of Azerbaijan and some distorted small maps will also be corrected in two hours.

The WHO head office is expected to make a statement on the mistake.
Http://www.who.int/countries/aze/en/ shows Azerbaijan without Nagorno Garabagh and http://www.who.int/countries/arm/en/index.html shows Nagorno Garabagh as a territory of Armenia.

Lyuba Negro, press officer of the WHO Regional Office, said they copied all the maps from the UN website but they will investigate the matter.
