Turkish opposition lawmaker warns of risk posed by Armenia's Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, 16 km from shared border
A nuclear power plant in neighboring Armenia poses a threat to Turkey, said a Turkish opposition party on Friday.
"The plant has been constructed with primitive technology and it lacks adequate security measures," said Eksik.
Both Turkey and Azerbaijan have repeatedly raised objections to the project as they believe it does not meet international safety standards.
Metsamor continues to draw criticism from Turkish officials as Armenia has decided to extend its operations until 2026.
