World Health Organization offends the Azeris
The World Health Organization has done an Economist by making a
cartographic affront to the Azeris. The WHO's website had maps which
displayed the disputed breakaway republic of Nagorno Karabakh as part
of Armenia. The NK is a de facto republic unrecognized, but protected,
by its ethnic brothers from Armenia.
Unrecognized countries are a cause of great tension. Expect these to
become a greater issue with the upcoming independence (and only
partial recognition) of Kosovo and possibly therefore Transnistria and
the Georgian breakaway republics.
