Bu yaxınlarda (23.01.2006) Ermənistan Respublikası hökuməti Yanında Daşınmaz Əmlakın Kadastrı Dövlət Komitəsinin sədri Manuk Vardanyan jurnalistlər qarşısında çıxış edərək məlumat vermişdir ki, Ermənistanın ilk milli atlası nəşr olunacaqdır. Onun bildirdiyinə görə həmin atlasda 40 min coğrafi ad qeydiyyata alınacaqd ır ki, bu zaman başqa dillərə məxsus olan 8-10 min coğrafi ad dəyişdirilərək erməni adları ilə əvəz olunacaqdır (http://newsarmenia.ru/arm1/20060123/41528686.html). M.Vardan- yanın qeyd etdiyi «başqa dillərə məxsus olan» həmin 8-10 min coğrafi ad məhz göstərilən torpaqlardan deportasiya edilmiş azərbaycanlılara məxsusdur. ...
