Subject: Rép. : Misguided map on your site
Sir,
We agree with you: Kurdistan is not a country and should not be labelled as such on our maps.
This is why I just made sure that the text below these maps would now state that it represents the “region” known as Kurdistan, a region that spans across turkish, iraki and iranian frontiers.
Thank you very much for your time.

Sir,
I write to acknowledge receipt of your e-mail. It is the customary practice of Radio-Canada’s Office of the ombudsman to share letters of complaint with th relevant programmers, who have the right to respond first to criticism. I have therefore shared your e-mail with director Pierre Champoux. If this response is not satisfactory, you can contact this office again, the ombudsman’s mandate is to act as an appeal authority.
Regards

Madame Miville-Dechene,
At least in two different links on your website, you have posted a map which shows half of Turkish Republic as Kurdistan. It is a shame that a media establishment which should be unbiased, you posted this misguided map, since there is no such country named “Kurdistan” especially within the borders of the Turkish Republic!
I demand that you either remove this map or the Kurdistan label.
Thank you.
