Persian Gulf

Dear Friends @ CNW TELBEC,I noted that you have used the wrong term of "Arabianb> Gulf" instead of the historical and internationally recognized term of the Persian Gulf in your Web site;http://www.cnw.ca/fr/releases/archive/February2005/21/c6848.html
I would like to point out that according to all historical/geographical documents, also United Nations' directives, the name of this waterway which separates Iran (Persia) from Arabianb> Peninsula is the PERSIAN GULF :
Also please be aware that Persian (Iranian) people never tried to use "Gulf of Iran"/"Gulf of Persia" instead of "Gulf of Oman" and never tried to chnage the name of "Arabianb> Sea" into "Persian Sea".
