YEREVAN, MARCH 19, ARMENPRESS. The agenda is not about closing the nuclear power station, but developing equivalent capacity, PM Nikol Pashinyan told a news conference today, addressing the terming about the Armenian NPP in CEPA signed with the EU.

“There are multiple discussions regarding the nuclear power station, for the record the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the EU emphasizes the topic of the nuclear power station’s closure alongside the development of equivalent capacities. Actually it is written not about the closure of the station but the development of equivalent capacity. We will extend the lifecycle of the nuclear power station as much as possible, however it is clear that it cannot work forever. I say again, the topic under discussion in our agenda isn’t the shutdown of the nuclear power station, but the development of equivalent capacity,” Pashinyan said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
