"Being a historic Armenian territory Nagorno Karabakh has made logical attempts to join Armenia by legal way. The cultural and religious center of Armenia, Karabakh was ruled by Armenian dukes even during the period when the rest of Armenia was under the yoke of Turkish and Persian empires", Yeni Zaman Azeri newspaper writes, citing the reports of the Central Intelligence Agency of 1970-1980. The fact is that the US National Geographic Center has recently issued a map, on which Karabakh is not marked as a part of Azerbaijan. Weighing 5 kg and costing $165 the map shows Karabakh as a disputable territory like the territories on the western coast of River Jordan, Northern Cyprus, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Zerkalo daily also expressed discontent over the fact.
