    Nuclear Plant to be Built in Northern Turkey

    Turkey's Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK) President Oktay Cakiroglu announced
    that they offered eight possible locations to build the country's first
    nuclear plant and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sinop is
    `the one.'

    The Agency technically studied details countrywide on where to construct the
    plant, said Cakiroglu in his speech at the parliamentary commission. Eight
    locations were chosen through 43 criteria, such as sea water temperature,
    climate, wind and general weather.

    Sinop was the final conclusion, Cakiroglu reported; a technology center will
    also be established in this city.

    The lake region near the Sariyer Dam in the Turkish city of Eskisehir was
    also attractive; however, it was not preferred because of the transportation
    problem of eight or nine reactors. Having been sent to the Turkish Atomic
    Energy Agency and Lands Registry, the official report announced where to
    construct the nuclear facility in Sinop.

    The report dated 15 March 2006 obtained by Zaman demanded the sheet maps of
    some lands in the village of Abali in Sinop. The Abali village stands in
    Inceburun, the northernmost point of Turkey. The Sinop Province made prior
    efforts for recreation and tourism in the area with a lighthouse.
