Mobile communication operator Megaphone OPSC presented Azerbaijani
territory as Armenian territory in the geographical map in the trailer
on making phone calls to the CIS countries.
APA reports quoting Azertag state agency that the map did not show
Azerbaijani capital, Baku, while shows not only Armenian capital but
also medieval town Armavir.
Azerbaijani embassy officially demanded Megaphone OPSC to correct the
mistake regarding Azerbaijan on the map. And the trailer was removed
from the channels from July 18. The Company expressed regret for the
misrepresentation on the map and thanked the Embassy for the appeal.
Megaphone said in the letter that it was an unpleasant misunderstanding
and was not deliberately made in order to misrepresent factual
information on the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, sovereignty
and internationally recognized boundaries.
