Yerevan, 21 August: The operation of the Armenian nuclear power plant
[NPP] will be suspended at the beginning of September due to a complete
overhaul that will be carried out there, the director-general of the
NPP, Gagik Markosyan, has told Arminfo.

He said that the NPP’s complete overhaul would take about 85
days. It is planned to upload nuclear fuel and inspect the nuclear
reactor. Similar measures, unlike the annual scheduled maintenance
work, are carried out once in four years.

"A great amount of non-standard work is expected, the major task being
the inspection of the nuclear reactor," the director-general said.

“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
