22 press conference that the program is now under consideraion of the
RA Ministry of Energy. "We are somewhat concerned because time goes by
and no answer has been received yet," he noted. According to M.
Mantrov, in Armenia, RAO EES has the right of property only with
respect to the Sevan-Hrazdan Cascade. The power generated by this
station makes up 10% of Armenia's power capacities, and not 80%, as
some Armenian mass media reported. The Armenian nuclear power plant
belongs to Armenia - it is just managed by RAO EES. According to
M. Mantrov, in 2004, the plant's profit made 18 mln USD.
