Russia has proposed to build a nuclear power plant (NPP) in Azerbaijan, Sputnik International reports.

"The NPP will be the one that our Azerbaijani partner chooses. We are offering a powerful plant," Rosatom state nuclear corporation Director General Alexey Likhachev told reporters Thursday, October 3 after a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev.
