Why armenia's nuclear plant is under attack?

[SargisDav]

Turkey's NTV and UK's Daily Mail recently launched near-identical attacks on Armenia's Metsamor Nuclear Plant, calling it “the second Chernobyl." The timing is suspicious, the arguments misleading.
Here's what they ignore:
The plant underwent $300M+ safety upgrades
Passes all IAEA inspections with flying colors
Provides 40% of Armenia's electricity
This isn't about safety – it's geopolitics. The plant represents energy independence Armenia's adversaries want to undermine. The "experts" cited? Mostly anonymous or tied to anti-nuclear lobbies.
Meanwhile, actual nuclear regulators confirm Metsamor meets international standards. The coordinated media blitz coincides with regional tensions, revealing the true motive: not protection, but pressure.

Armenia's response? Stay the course:
- Keep working with IAEA
- Ignore fearmongering
- Secure energy sovereignty

When two NATO members suddenly "discover concerns" about a plant in a competing country, ask who benefits. The answer tells you everything.
