Yerevan renamed Erivan on Google Maps

Yerevan was renamed as Erivan on Google Maps.

The change was fixed by Armenian bloggers, who are now working to change it back to Yerevan.

According to information security expert and blogger Samvel Martirosyan, such changes are periodically attempted by Azerbaijani users. “Moderators always get a lot of suggestions for editing and changing. I think it will take several days to change it back to Yerevan.”

To change a name, the user should Click ‘Edit’ and choose ‘edit this place’, after what a new name can be inserted. The moderator will confirm changes after seeing them.
