EU asks Yerevan to test its nuclear power station

During the current visit to Yerevan of the President of Lithuania, who is also acting Chairman of OSCE Dalia Grybauskaite various topics were raised. Among these were talks on safety issues of the Armenian nuclear power station which is actively functioning. Now European countries have decided to test their nuclear power stations and expect that European neighbourhood countries will do the same. After Japan’s disaster many people outside Armenia demand that Yerevan closes down the station. But before the new nuclear power station will be built the Armenian leadership intends to continue running its existing power station.
