Armenia Security Council head: We have entered substantive phase with US on new nuclear plant construction

We have great success in diversification in the security sector, but we cannot say the same about the economic sector. Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, Armen Grigoryan, stated this during a discussion on Armenia-Eastern Partnership-EU Wednesday.

"There are many multi-layered problems here, and a lot of work is being done to solve them. And it is no coincidence that the priority agenda matters of April 5 were economic; they were about resilience and diversification. In some cases, we try to resolve the issues in the long term. For example, we have entered a very substantive phase with regard to the construction of a new nuclear power plant [in Armenia]. That is, we are discussing with the US the matter of regulating the legal contract field [in that regard]; we cannot move forward without that field. At this moment, I can say that the ball is in the US’ court, we expect our system procedures in the US to pass, and then we will start working on diversification," said the secretary of the Security Council of Armenia.

And reflecting on agricultural products, Grigoryan said: "When we discuss the entry of our various products into the EU, we must also take into account the political discussions taking place in the EU."
