The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has asked
for forgiveness from the Azeri government and people for publishing
a map in its annual 2009 report without marking Nagorno-Karabakh as
a part of Azerbaijan.

"After finding the mistake last night, the EBRD Office in Baku
contacted the Azeri government, immediately corrected the mistake in
the online version and removed the paper versions from circulation,"
as stated in EBRD’s press release, according to Azeri presses.
