Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug. 12 /Trend, A.Akhundov/

The State Committee for Land and Cartography of Azerbaijan intends to address a letter of protest to Google in connection with the distortion of names of geographical objects in the country's territory the on the maps prepared by it, the head of the topography, geodesy and cartography department of the Committee Rafig Huseynli told Trend on Friday.

"We have already sent a similar appeal to Google and Microsoft early this year, after which they implemented some changes. However, mistakes are still present in these maps, and in the coming days, we will send a letter of protest. The appeal is almost ready," said Huseynli.
According to him, the problem in this regard is the lack of an effective monitoring tool for the editors of these maps.
"We can only send a letter to the company, the National Security Ministry and the Foreign Ministry of the country," said Huseynli.
Huseynli also called on the Azerbaijani internet community to participate more actively in this matter.
