BAKU (APA)-Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry demanded an explanation
from Microsoft Corporation for categorizing Nagorno-Karabakh as
an independent state on its portal MSN.com, the APA news services
reported Wednesday.
The site’s search listings for the weather in Nagorno-Karabakh
does not include "Azerbaijan" as the country of location; rather
the territory exists on its own. MSN.com, however, places the word
"disputed" in parentheses after Nagorno-Karabakh’s name, but also used
the Azerbaijani name for Karabakh’s capital. (Khankendi; Karabakh’s
government uses the Armenian Stepanakert – ed).
Baku has tasked its embassy in the United States to seek an explanation
from Seattle-based Microsoft, the APA report said
