Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has slammed his Azerbaijani
counterpart before world leaders over remarks made by the latter
about the safety of the Armenian nuclear power plant.
Addressing the heads of more than 50 nations, including the United
States, Russia and China, at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul,
South Korea, on Tuesday, Sargsyan called Ilham Aliyev's statement that
the nuclear facility in the Armenian town of Metsamor poses a threat
to the region "slander and misinformation" directed against Armenia.

the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant voiced by the Azerbaijani President
here.
Azerbaijan has long pursued the policy of disseminating slander
against Armenia. Distorted information concerning not only Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh but the international community and particularly the
documents we and you adopted is presented from the highest bleachers.
They even misrepresent the well-known UN Security Council resolutions
on the Nagorno-Karabakh problem forgetting that it was them who started
the military actions, it was them that refused to stop the actions
and it was them who make bellicose statements every day and refuse to
resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh issue based on the international law",
the Armenian leader stressed.
"We underlined the central role of the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) in controlling the nuclear security and radioactive
substances at the 2010 Washington Summit. As a producer of nuclear
energy, Armenia deepens comprehensive cooperation with the Agency.
Safe operation of the Armenian NPP and enhancement of its security
level is a priority goal for our government. We strictly adhere to
the requirements of IAEA international norms proposed for the nuclear
plants of this generation. OSART mission confirmed that the Armenian
NPP fully meets the norms last year," he added.
At his speech at the summit Sargsyan also confirmed Armenia's
commitment to combating illegal turnover of nuclear substances as
well as its resolution in combating nuclear terrorism.
