US invents new countries and teaches them to live right

Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 9

By Elena Kosolapova – Trend: One of the US leading newspapers - The New York Times has recently published an article mentioning a Central Asian country called "Kyrbekistan".

Later, the newspaper’s editorial staff apologized for the error, explaining that the matter rested in Kyrgyzstan.

Of course, everybody can make typos, even journalists of such authoritative newspaper as The New York Times.

However, this is not the first time when the US makes a mistake with the name of Kyrgyzstan. While delivering a patriotic speech at a university of the country in 2013, US Secretary of State John Kerry was proudly talking about "brave US representatives’ support for democratic changes in ‘Kyrzahstan’.

Moreover, he said that it will take a long time for "Kyrzahstan" to pass to democracy.
