4 Armenian banks (ARDSHININVESTBANK CJSC, ARMBUSINESSBANK, UNIBANK и VTB BANK) conduct monetary transfers and receipts in "Stepanakert" (the Azerbaijani city Khankendi) by the help of the Western Union website.

Thus, the Azerbaijani city Khankendi is pointed at the website of Western Union as a capital of the unrecognized "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", which means that Western Union attempted to legitimate the illegal territorial formation (see photo below).
In other words, Western Union assists to Armenian diaspora and persons, indifferent to Armenia, to transfer money to Nagorno Karabakh. Unlike Migom monetary transfers system, which conducts monetary transfers in CIS and Baltic States, Western Union accounted for over 335,000 service points in more than 200 countries as of April 1 of 2008.
It should be noted that Western Union was founded in the United States in 1851 and is a global leader on the market of monetary transfer service. The company is headquartered in Inglewood, Colorado (US).
Most banks of Azerbaijan use the monetary transfers system and we are sure that all these banks should review their contracts with Western Union, if it does not introduce changes to its work.
