Baku. Kamala Guliyeva – APA. “The neighboring states should declare
their position to international community on threat of Metsamor nuclear
power plant in Armenia to the region”, director of the Radiation
Problems Institute of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS)
Adil Garibov told journalists.
According to him, though Armenia says its energy supply depends on
Metsamor nuclear power plant, it ensures its energy security through
the gas imported from Iran: “Azerbaijan has announced the threat of
Metsamor nuclear power plant to the region for several times. Despite
such opinions, Armenia doesn’t want to take step to close the station.
Armenia intends to keep the nuclear power plant because of strategic
objectives. The existence of nuclear reactor allows Armenia to maintain
its status as a nuclear country.”
