Глава Минэнерго Турции призвал снять санкции в атомной энергетике

Bayraktar: Sanctions Slow Down Technological Progress

Sanctions in the nuclear energy sector must be lifted, as they slow down the technological progress that is so important for Turkey. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Energy of the republic, Alparslan Bayraktar, at the opening of the 68th session of the IAEA General Conference.

All obstacles, trade and financial restrictions and sanctions against this sector must be removed.

The minister emphasized that economic restrictions affecting nuclear energy also negatively affect the achievement of global sustainable development goals.

Ankara believes that in the next 20 years, the country will need 4% more electricity than it does now. Only alternative energy sources, including nuclear energy, will be able to meet this need.

It is expected that in 2035 Turkey will produce 7.2 GW of electricity from nuclear energy, and in 15 years — 20 GW.
