ArmInfo. Turkey is not invited to participate in the construction of
new nuclear power plant (NPP) in Armenia, Prime Minister of Armenia
Tigran Sargsyan told media Friday.

He called it misunderstanding and wrong interpretation of his
invitation to participate in the project addressed to Russia and
European and other states. ‘The point is that certain part of the
shares of the future NPP may be set to free sale and Turkish, Greek and
other companies may display interest in them’, the premier said. He
stressed that this idea is still under discussion. He added that
isolated private companies in Turkey display interest in the project.
In general, the Armenian power engineering has serious resources, which
makes it possible to export electric power. As a result, the companies
of the neighbor states display an interest in it.
