Turkey supports the closure of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant and
thinks it is dangerous for the region. According to Turkish mass media,
such a statement was made by the Minister of Energy of Turkey Taner
Yildiz. According to him, Turkey will soon appeal to International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for this issue.
Why is Turkey so insisting to close the Armenian NPP? Why is it
not worried with the nuclear power plant of Iran? How many Muslim
countries are there in the world where there are nuclear plants? And
why does Turkey not allow building an NPP but allows the deployment
of nuclear objects to which it has no access?
According to the Karabakh Committee Member Ashot Manucharyan, the
presence of the NPP is a weighty political capital for the country.
The point is not only about the fact that those countries where there
are NPPs are more protected by the international community. The point
is that for such countries there is somewhat different attitude, as
if they belong to the unofficial club of trusted states the sanity of
which is not doubted. As there are doubts about, say, the constancy of
the representatives of some nations who are not drafted into the army.
Turkey is against the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant from this point of
view. No one would like to have a neighboring country that is trusted
nuclear energy, without feat that inadequate people with inadequate
targets will appear at the "button".
