Yukiya Amano was recently welcomed by Armenia's Foreign Affairs
Minister Edward Nalbandian, Armenia Liberty.org reported.
In the course of talks, Nalbandian stressed that Armenia stress the
need to develop its ties and co-operation with the IAEA, also
considering this as the most important component of Armenia's energy
and nuclear safety.
He also recalled President Serzh Sargsyan's participation in the
Nuclear Safety Summit, which was held in Seoul in March. For his part,
Amano said that IAEA attach importance to co-operation with Armenia
which he expects to yield fruitful results. The interlocutors
discussed the Armenia-IAEA co-operation and nuclear safety matters. In
this context, Nalbandian noted that Armenia, as a country with nuclear
technology, has joined several international documents which regulate
this area.
The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog inspected the nuclear
plant at Metsamor and discussed with Armenian leaders their plans to
delay its decommissioning.
