The Akkuyu power plant is being held up due to sanctions, according to Russian atomic energy company Rosatom.
Sanctions resulting from Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine are hampering the construction of a Moscow-funded nuclear energy plant in NATO member Turkey, the head of Russia's atomic energy agency said.Rosatom Director General Alexei Likhachev made the comments on state television about the joint Russian-Turkish investment project, the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey's Mersin Province, which was first agreed between the countries in 2010.
'The dogs are barking, the caravan is moving on,' he said, using a Russian expression that described how despite setbacks, the project would continue undeterred.Rosatom is not subject to Western sanctions, although some of its subsidiaries are.
