/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian and Russian Presidents
referred to the issue of the Armenian Nuclear Power
Plant during their meeting in Sochi, RA leader’s
Spokesman Victor Soghomonian told reporters in
Yerevan. Expedience of opening up uranium mines in
Armenia was also discussed, he said. `As you know,
Armenia possesses uranium resources and the expediency
of its extraction should be decided by specialists.
However, Armenia won’t enrich uranium,’ Soghomonian
underscored.
It’s worth mentioning that during the soviet period
uranium mines were run in Kapan but they were closed
over commercial impracticability and disutility.
