On June 30 U.S. Ambassador John Evans stated that the United States
assists in working out a long-term energy strategy in Armenia.
John Evans affirmed that the Unites States perceives the importance of
the use of alternative energy sources and diversification of energy
supply, and knows that in this context one of the options under
consideration is the building of a new atomic power plant. Evans
announced that the project of building a new atomic plant involves
participation of international donors, which depends on the
possibility to perceive fully the strategy of Armenia in the sphere of
energy and closing of the old atomic power plant.
John Evans suggested that Armenia discuss how the settlement of
complicated problems with Azerbaijan will affect diversification of
energy supply and finding new markets for generated electricity.
