Appreciation and follow-up request for Deutsche Welle website

Owing to numerous letters of our readers to Deutsche Welle's agency, the mistake on the map of Azerbaijan in the "Weather forecast" section was corrected. Administrative borders of Nagorno Karabakh region of Azerbaijan were removed and the map now contains only the state borders of Azerbaijan. Notably, before our appeal to Deutsche Welle the maps of Georgia and Moldova in this section did not contain similar contours of separatist areas and the autonomous republics within Russia were also not marked. The corrected mistake of Azerbaijan now looks as follows:

Nevertheless, another map, on which Nagorno Karabakh was marked, unlike Transdniestria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, is still unchanged. This interactive map is in the "Discover Europe" (Europa Entdecken, Descubrir Europe, etc.) section. We urge our readers to send the following letter with “Appreciation and a follow-up request” in a Subject line to [email protected]

Dear Mr. Erik Bettermann,

Thank you for correcting the map of Azerbaijan in the weather forecast section of Deutsche Welle's website. The new map looks correct, and it is fully in line with the recently Bundestag-adopted resolution on South Caucasus:

Thank you!

However, the second map (Europe's interactive map in the “Europa Entdecken” section) unfortunately stayed untouched:
http://www9.dw-world.de/europakarte/eng/europakarte_fs.php?id

I hereby call DW to remain consistent to its policy of non-recognition of territorial separatism and make corrections in the second map as well. I strongly urge you to remove the administrative borders of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan in the interactive map and show only the state borders of the three South Caucasus countries, as it is the case with the map of Georgia and Moldova, where DW rightfully showed only their internationally recognized state borders without the administrative borders of the separatist Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria. I believe, Germany did not recognize Abkhazia's, South Ossetia's and Transnistria's independence, nor did it recognize the so-called separatist "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic".

Here are two maps:

http://usazeris.org/integrity/DW%20map%20-%20correct.jpg

The first is the wrong map which currently appears on DW’s website, and the second is the suggested (correct) map. I kindly ask you to replace map 1 with map 2.

I appreciate your cooperation and understanding and impatiently wait for the corrections in the interactive map of Europe as well.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
