Armenia won't enrich uranium

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian and Russian Presidents referred to the issue of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant during their meeting in Sochi, RA leader's Spokesman Victor Soghomonian told reporters in Yerevan. Expedience of opening up uranium mines in Armenia was also discussed, he said. "As you know, Armenia possesses uranium resources and the expediency of its extraction should be decided by specialists. However, Armenia won't enrich uranium," Soghomonian underscored.



It's worth mentioning that during the soviet period uranium mines were run in Kapan but they were closed over commercial impracticability and disutility.
