NESTLE FAILS TO RESIST AZERI PRESSURE
- The Swiss-based multinational food company, Nestle, has apologized to Azerbaijan after a 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 “after gaining independence, Azerbaijan had started a war against neighboring Armenia.” Azerbaijan claims that Nagorno Karabakh was also mentioned. However, judging by the screenshot posted on Day.az website, Nagorno Karabakh was not mentioned at all. Nestle PR Officer Anastasia Shestakova also confirmed to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that the CDs did not contain any information about Karabakh. Nestle has withdrawn the cereal and promised to seize the CDs, which were released by DK Multimedia company and later purchased by Nestle as a finished product. The Azeri government vowed to take action, and there has been widespread talk of a public boycott. Despite the formal apology, Azeris are still not happy. They accuse Nestle of playing Armenia’s hand, and are demanding more than just an apology to chew on.

Ha ha... European Nestle, and the Beast like Azeris who want "More than an apology to chew on"... Since Azeris don't like Nestle and it's milk, Let the Azeri babies "Chew on" their mothers' breasts... It's easy for Europeans to give free and cheap lessons to us, about how to deal with our neighbors. Now the Swiss acknowledge how lucky they are not to have subhumans like Azeris at their border...
