 Turkish MP demands closure of Armenian Metzomor nuclear power plant as posing big threat to region. The Metzomor nuclear power plant poses a great threat to Turkish, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran and Armenia itself. Kantuk Alagor's member of the ruling Turkish Justice and Development Party told report agency. According to him, the recent earthquake in the Turkish province of Agri increased the anxiety of the residents of the region. Most of all, people are afraid and worried about the Metzomor nuclear power plant located in Armenia. The lawmaker noted that this station, located 30 kilometers from İgdir, was built according to old technologies and, above all, poses a great threat to Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Iran. He noted that they are concerned about the destruction of the nuclear power plant or possible leaks from the station. The nuclear power plant was supposed to be closed in 2005, but it has been operating under the pretext of repairs for 18 years. I will bring this issue of concern to the attention of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Turkish Grand National Assembly and the World Community and will try to achieve the closure of the plant. The Armenian people are also in danger. They are demanding the closure of the plant. However, the plant, which provides 27% of Armenia's electricity needs, does not stop its work, despite all efforts. According to the MP, an atmosphere of hatred and hostility has been reigning in Armenia for many years. The killings of Azerbaijanis in Karabakh are proof of this. 20% of Azerbaijani lands were under Armenian occupation for 30 years. These lands were returned as a result of a 44-day war. Armenians should stop their hostility in order to establish peace and security in the region. If the Metzomor nuclear power plant is destroyed, the country called Armenia will cease to exist. Now, much is said about the increase in the number of cancer patients in our region. The Metzomor nuclear power plant is cited as one of the main reasons. Armenia is among the first countries to be threatened by the plant.
