Nestle in Azerbaijan CD blunder
The Swiss-based multinational food company, Nestle, has apologised to Azerbaijan after a free gift attached to a breakfast cereal backfired.
The CD-ROM featured information about countries around the world but the data on Azerbaijan caused outrage there.
It said that Azerbaijan had started a war against neighbouring Armenia and that the hotly disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh belonged to Armenia.
Nestle has withdrawn the cereal and promised to seize the offending CDs. [...]
Nestle inadvertently stumbled into a minefield.
The Azeri government vowed to take action, and there has been widespread talk of a public boycott.
Nestle has now issued a formal apology but some Azeris are still not happy.
They accuse Nestle of playing Armenia's hand, and are demanding more than just an apology to chew on.
