Theoretically Turkey may use Armenian draft law when demanding to shut
down ANPP, a member of the Armenian parliament from ARF Dashnaktiutyn
party, Bagrat Sargsyan, said today during the parliamentary hearings
on alterations to the law "On environment assessment expertise". He
recalled that besides the two main pre-conditions for opening of the
border to Armenia - refusal of the process of the world recognition of
the Armenian genocide and yielding of Nagornyy Karabakh, Turkey also
put forward a condition to shut down ANPP, the strategical significance
of which is obvious. Sargsyan says that as the alterations also
foresee the assessment of the transborder affecting the environment,
Turkey may speak about the ecological risks of ANPP located near the
Armenian-Turkish border. However, representative of Armenian Nature
Protection Ministry, Juletta Galechyan, explained that the point about
assessment of the transborder affect will be included like a principle
implementation of which depends on international agreements. She also
added that the affect will be studied only in case if two or three
countries in the zone of potential affect of the facility will make
the relevant inter-state agreement.
