Microsoft has corrected error related to Azerbaijan’s territorial
integrity.

Microsoft, the largest transnational company specialized at software
manufacturing, corrected the gross related to Azerbaijan’s territorial
integrityy on MSN.

Recently MSN indicated Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan as
disputed territory in its ‘Weather’ section. A click on Khankandi
showed the following inscription: "Khankandi, Nagorno-Karabakh
(disputed)."

Following media reports about the error, Microsoft said it will remove
inaccuracy in the shortest time possible.

The error has already been corrected. Now, search for Khankandi on
the MSN Weather section shows ‘Khankandi, Azerbaijan.’

Despite this, Bing Maps has not yet corrected the similar
error. Azerbaijan’s map on this Web site still indicates
Nagorno-Karabakh as a disputed territory.

We believe that such a large company with a large share in
Azerbaijani market is simply obliged to respect country’s territorial
integrity. Correction of errors on the MSN Web site suggests that
Microsoft is ready to correct any inaccuracies on its resources.
