Narrative:
After landing on runway 16/34 taxi instructions were to taxi via right to hold short of runway 15/33 on right. We're then told to taxi via route 1 to the follow me on the cargo apron. The taxi signs on the hold point for right 15/33 showed route 2 as a left turn and route 1 as a right turn. We turned right onto 15/33 per the sign and instructions expecting to exit via taxiway A8 then to the ramp. After our right turn the controller started to ask questions about the right turn. He asked us if we understood route 1. We told him we complied with the signs. We later found information on the parking stands diagram 10-9c. The information on route 1 and route 2 were just the opposite of the signs. There were no other references on any other parking or taxi diagrams that we could find. Move the route 1 and 2 information off the parking stands diagram and put it someplace where we can find it.
