YEREVAN. – Armenia’s nuclear power plant is under the specialists’ supervision; it is safe which, in its turn, explains the extension of its operating period, ruling Republican Party National Assembly Faction leader Galust Sahakyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.  

“The US, Europe, and Russia look positively to the need to build a new nuclear power plant in Armenia. I believe that, although great sources are needed, the new nuclear power plant will be constructed within the next ten years. The international community understands very well that the power plant is the guarantee for Armenia’s viability,” Sahakyan said.     

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the operating period for Armenia’s Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant has been extended for ten years.
