ARMENIA: Alarmed at the potential for another Chernobyl-type
nuclear accident, the European Union has frozen ?100 million of
grant aid to this small state in the Caucasus following the refusal
of the government here to agree to a date for closure of an ageing
Russian-built nuclear power plant sited in one of the world’s most
active seismic zones.
