    Cypriot Speaker of Parliament Yiannakis Omirou has urged the European
    Parliament to stop Turkey developing its nuclear power plant at Akkuyu
    on the southern coast, not far from the Cyprus, Armenia Today reports.

    Omirou met officials of the European Parliament and its committee
    for environment, healthcare and security of food at Nicosia, on the
    eve of Cypriot chairmanship at the EU starting in June.

    The speaker said that the republic cannot realize its ecological
    policy when 37% of its territory is occupied by Turkey. He described
    the prospects of nuclear-free Mediterranean Sea with account of the
    Fukushima nuclear catastrophe of 2011.

    Deputies of the European Parliament urged Cyprus to use its
    chairmanship in the EU with full efficiency, adding that the state
    could use experience of other members, instruments, foundations and
    opportunities to increase EU expenses for ecological purposes.
