Nuke plants construction in Turkey in exchange for silence on Genocide?May 13, 2013 - 18:12 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Countries investing in construction of Turkey-based nuclear power plants will refrain from mentioning the Armenian Genocide in future, Turkish Minister for Energy and Natural Resources said. “Japan and France’s involvement in the construction of an NPP in Turkey will influence the settlement of issues linked to the Armenian Genocide. After the investments made, the countries in question will be more careful as to their Genocide-related statements,” Sabah quoted Taner Yildiz as saying. Turkey plans to launch operation of 2 NPPs within 10 years: Sinop, to be constructed by Japan’s Mitsubishi jointly with France’s GDF Suez, and Akkuyu, Russia’s Rosatom project.
