27 August 2006 [12:48] - TODAY.AZ
US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has misrepresented Azerbaijan's map.

APA's European bureau reports the regional map presented by NASA, which has created analogue of Google Earth program on www.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov, shows Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic as territory of Armenia.

This mistake was not in the Google Earth program. Taking into account that NASA is a state agency, this is a quite a serious mistake.

Azerbaijani youths in Belgium started protest campaign regarding this misrepresentation. Letters of protest can be sent to www.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/contactus.html.
