Changes to Turkey’s legislation will make it possible to accelerate the implementation of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant construction project, the Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said.
"We did have problems caused by the fact that Turkish law did not provide for simplified licensing. And the project, to begin its implementation in full volume, requires a large number of licenses. Therefore, the adoption of amendments to the legislation, which has recently occurred, provides the possibility for accelerating the project implementation," TASS cited the minister as saying.
Turkey’s Energy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said previously after meeting Novak that Turkey had removed all legal obstacles for the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant.
