the Azerbaijani Parliament and head of the Azerbaijani delegation
to PACE, said that the document states that Azerbaijan and other
countries recognize the nuclear power plant as a threat, inspired by
the tragedy in Japan.
The deputy said that the power plant was built using old Soviet
technology in a zone with high seismological risks and that Armenia
