  Turkey slams Armenia’s NPP operation to solve own problems March 22, 2013 - 22:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Expert on Turkish studies Ruben Safrastyan commented on the paragraph in Armenia’s 2012 progress report on European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) implementation, stressing the need for closing down stop Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant. “Turkey uses EU concerns as a tool to impose pressure on Armenia. Our NPP is the only one in the region, along with Bushehr NPP in Iran. Countries with NPPs assume serious strategic obligations in relation to their neighbors. Turkey, which plans to build a nuclear power plant, issues farfetched statements suggesting NPP may pose a threat to solve its geological problems,” the expert told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. Mr Safrastyan stressed the need for Armenia to counter the pressure, due to the issue also bearing a geopolitical nature. “There are several options,” the expert said, refraining to specify them.
