Removal of Persian Gulf’s name undermines Google’s credibility : Iranian FM official

TEHRAN,May 7(MNA) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast commented on Google’s recent decision to leave the Persian Gulf nameless on its online map service, saying that it will diminish the corporation’s credibility. Mehmanparast added, “In the cyber world, the West’s efforts to complete their psychological war against Iran have led them to trample the rights, which they themselves define, underfoot. Google’s efforts to disregard historical documents and remove the name of the Persian Gulf will damage the credibility of the site. “The world’s people are aware that a fake name cannot be used for an area for political purposes.”
