Turkey is confident that the Rosatom is capable of ensuring the security of Akkuyu, the first Turkish nuclear power plant, Turkish Ambassador to Moscow Aydin Sezgin said.
"We know that Rosatom, which will be building our first nuclear power plant in Akkuyu, is experienced in the provision of nuclear power plants' security," the ambassador said. "Turkey wishes the soonest beginning of the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in the Mersin province. This project will present the best example of Turkish-Russian partnership."
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said earlier that "We will be able to lay down the plant's foundation by late April, early May."

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
