YEREVAN. - Closure of Armenian nuclear power plant will be disastrous
for Armenia, chairman of Armenian Consumers' Association Armen
Poghosyan told reporters.
Armenia's leadership must constantly seek resources not only for
optimization of the NPP but construction of a new energy unit.
He recalled that in early 2000s EU several times spoke about necessity
to close the NPP offering a grant of 100 million euro.
"While the old nuclear power plant is working, specualtions on closure
of the plant will continue. One of main challenges of the government
is to search funds for a new station," he said.
However, it should be noted that on May 30 Prime Minister Hovik
Abrahamyan said that the arrangement on mentioned loan had been
reached after his meeting with Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.
