Earlier Turkish media reported that the Armenian government decided to prolong work of Mezamor power station till 2023.
The Mezamor power station was built in 190. After the destructive earthquake in 1988 in the Armenian city of Spitak it was closed, but in 1995, despite international protests, operation of the station was resumed and the second reactor was launched.
