Day.az Azeri news agency accused CNN world news leader of a serious mistake in its Azerbaijan-related broadcast.

According to Day.az, 5 Days of August, Renny Harlin's movie portraying 2008 Russia-Georgia war, frequently shows CNN live broadcasts from the warzone with backgrounds of South Caucasus Map. “Azerbaijan on this very map is shown without Nakhichevan, which is shown as a part of Armenia,” the news agency said, citing the website visitor’s letter.

Similar hysteria occurred in April 2011, when 200stran.ru Russian cartographic resource committed the same “mistake”. Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic wasn't shown as a part of Azerbaijan on the website- posted map.

The territory of Nakhichevan region made a part of ancient Armenian kingdom from the 6th century B.C. The word ‘Nakhichevan’ means in Armenian “the first descent.” Legends say the town was constructed by Noah after leaving the ark.

On March 16, 1921, the Soviet Russia and Turkey signed a treaty in Moscow, under which Nakhichevan region “was transferred to the Soviet Azerbaijan with the status of an autonomous territory.”

From the point of view of the international law, of course, it was arbitrariness: two states transferred the territory of a third state without its consent to a fourth state.

The treaty was renewed in Kars the same year to put it into legal shape.
