President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan took part in the nuclear security
summit held on 27 March in Seoul. As press-service of the president
reported, in his speech the president said in particular that nuclear
security is a priority task of Armenia. For this reason, a law was
adopted to control export, transit of nuclear and radioactive goods
of dual purpose as well as the transition of the information of dual
purpose and the results of intellectual activity.
He also emphasized the important role of the IAEA for ensuring of
nuclear security and storage of radioactive materials. "Armenia as a
country generating nuclear energy, has been developing multilateral
cooperation with IAEA. The secure exploiting of the Armenian Nuclear
Power Plant (ANPP) and further raising of its safety, its physical
protection as well as storage of the high activeness nuclear fuel
are the priority tasks of our government. We have been strictly
implementing the requirements of the international norms, offered to
the nuclear plants of the present generation by IAEA. The last year
mission of OSART organized by IAEA proved that the ANPP fully meets
these norms", - President Sargsyan said.
When commenting on the disinformation about the ANPP presented by
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the summit, Sargsyan said it
has already become a tradition that Azerbaijan disseminates blackmail
about Armenia. "Everything regarding Armenia, all the documents
adopted by the world community, are presented by Azerbaijan in the
distorted way", - president of Armenia said.
He also added that after the tragedies in Chenobyl and Fukushima
many people do not fully trust in the nuclear energy. But in case of
Armenia, which has no natural resources, there are few alternative
sources of energy which ensure development of the country. "Two
states neighboring to Armenia keep our country in blockade through
breaking international law norms. Along with other problems, it causes
difficulties in the matter of choosing of the alternative ways of
energy independence", - Sargsyan concluded.
