The new idea of the president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez has called again rough disputes. Recently Chavez has declared that would like to return to the main place of interest of the country – to Angel falls – its primordial name – Kerepakupai-Merú.
The 979-metre falls bear a name of American pilot Jimmy Endzhela which has flown by over it in 1933. The niece of the pilot, Karen Endzhel, considers that the falls name is necessary for saving, as its uncle has opened the Venezuelan place of interest to all world, writes Times.
Chavez declares that name change on Kerepakupai-Merú, belonging to a local tribe пемон, will please Indians. At the same time Indians name falls the Churun-vein (Churún-Vena).
