What is wrong? (Security reportedly beefed up at Armenian nuclear plant)
Haykakan Zhamanak, Yerevan

Extraordinary security measures have been taken at the Armenian
Nuclear Power Station since last week. The security regime has been
tightened by twenty times.
According to our information, the National Security Service and
special police forces have been involved in these security
measures. We did not manage to get any official source to clarify what
these measures are connected with. But the form of the security
measures testifies that the Armenian Nuclear Power Station is being
protected from an external threat.
Rumours are circulating that the Armenian special services have
received information about a sabotage group infiltrating Armenia with
the aim of carrying out a terrorist act at the nuclear
plant. According to another theory, the Armenian authorities are
preparing for expected opposition actions in this way. If necessary,
they can close the highway from Armavir to Yerevan.
Anyway, all our attempts to get an official comment on this yesterday
were in vain.
