        How do we protest to google?
        For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
        to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

          Just as I expected:

          “War” for Yerevan launched in Google Maps

          March 05, 2011 | 18:08
          Azerbaijanis are trying to change the name of Armenia’s capital in Google Maps service replacing Yerevan by Erivan.

          They managed to change it about two weeks ago when a Turkish variant (Erivan) appeared instead of the real name of Armenia’s capital, Yerevan.

          Vardan Grigoryan, moderator of the Armenian Google Technology User Group, said “map struggle” has long history. Azerbaijanis managed to change the real name for several times, as each Google user is allowed to send a request to moderators to make certain changes in geographic names. The request has to be confirmed by a chief moderator. Confirmation of the right variant sent by huge number of users would contribute to making decision by moderators. This can be done, for instance, via social networking websites.

          “Azerbaijani map-makers write Erivan, while Armenians delete it replacing by real name (Yerevan),” he told the Armenian News-NEWS.am Innovation correspondent.

          Grigoryan stressed requests to delete wrong information had been already sent to the Google moderators. Once they are confirmed, the right variant will be written.

            interesting that Israeli groups are now supporting the Genocide efforts.

            Bill on Armenian Genocide to be discussed in Dutch parliament


            March 07, 2011 | 10:57
            A new stage of discussions of a bill making it crime to deny the Armenian Genocide has begun in the Dutch parliament.

            The document presented by the “Christian Union” party in 2006 has not so far been supported by the parliamentary majority. Opponents believe that the current legislation already provided for penalties for denial of the Armenian Genocide. There is also disagreement on defining the term “genocide.”

            However, during the recent meeting of “Christian Union”, a number of organizations, including the Israeli Center Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI) and the Federation of the Armenian ogniazatiion in the Netherlands, spoke for introducing criminal punishment for denial of the Armenian Genocide.

            The bill is expected to be submitted to the plenary session of the parliament before the end of this year.

              another article regarding google maps:

              Yerevan renamed Erivan on Google Maps
              March 7, 2011 - 14:17 AMT 10:17 GMT
              PanARMENIAN.Net - 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.

                Re: Armenia and the information war

                To highlight how much more the Armenian government needs to do to fight the information war, SevSpitak found the Google maps problem 4 months ago and it STILL hasn't been countered http://forum.hyeclub.com/showthread....l=1#post302982 How come a user is finding these problems and not our IT teams based in Yerevan?

                I sent them a request to change it back when SevSpitak found it and they still haven't changed which proves that we need a mass request. Please everyone edit the thing back to Yerevan!

                  Re: Armenia and the information war

                  Stupid Google, so they just let idiots distort history? Is there anybody competent there?

                  And another thing, Karabakh is not even outlined! It's drawn like it's just another province of Azerbaijan. So that's 2 things that need to be changed right away!
