PanARMENIAN.Net – Azerbaijan has asked Google to remove the Armenian names of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) settlements from Google Maps, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Leyla Abdullayeva said on Thursday, December 23, Trend reports.

Abdullayeva claimed that Google Maps is currently using the “distorted toponyms in Armenian” alongside the “official names in the Azerbaijani language”, although Artsakh has always been populated by ethnic Armenians.

The spokesperson noted that Baku has now sent a letter to the company with a list of names Azerbaijan would like to see on the map.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
