    of new nuclear energy block in Armenia

    ArmInfo. Russian authorities have assured us about their readiness to
    take part in the construction project of a new nuclear energy block in
    Armenia, Armenian Prime Minister, Tigran
    Sarkisyan, told Armenian journalists at the plane board yesterday when
    coming back to Yerevan after his working visit to Moscow.

    He also added that within the frames of the visit the Russian party was
    aware that the tender on selection of an international operator for the
    energy block construction will end on 13 March.
    "We shall invite investors to take part in the project and naturally,
    South Caucasus countries will be also interested in the project. We are
    open for our neighbours as well",- Sarkisyan said.

    To note, construction of the new nuclear energy block along with
    construction of Iran-Armenia railway and restoration of the Spitak
    earthquake zone and its infra-structures are priorities of the
    incumbent authorities. To recall, nuclear energy block construction
    will cost $5,7-7,2 bln. Russian, French and other companies show
    interest in the project. The new block will be ready in 2016 when the
    resource of the functioning energy block is exhausted.
