    Prime-Minister of Georgia Zurab Nogaideli considers that it is early to
    speak about the theme
    of the nuclear reactor construction in Georgia. Today comment on this
    theme is absolutely contrproductive. Talks are held for a long time,
    but the final decision has not been formulated", the Prime-Minister of
    Georgia stated to journalists on Friday in Tbilisi.

    According to him, "this issue depends not much on us, but on Armenia".
    "As it is known an old reactor is in Armenia and the question is about
    replacement of the old reactor by the new one. That's why it is early
    to tell today that the new reactor will be built in Georgia or Armenia,
    the old reactor will be replaced by the new one or the issue will be
    resolved in another way", Zurab Nogaideli stressed.

    On the eve Ambassador of Georgia to France Mamuka Kudava stated that
    within few months the government of Georgia starts consultations with
    French company "Areva" on possibility of the nuclear power plant
    construction in the country. Mamuka Kudava noted that the sphere of
    nuclear energy was within interests of both countries and it was
    confirmed at the meeting of Presidents of Georgia and France Mikheil
    Saakashvili and Nikolas Sarcozy. At the same time the ambassador noted
    that the question was not about a concrete project so far.
    Representatives of the company will come to Georgia first to study
    local conditions and together with Georgian colleagues they will
    elaborate recommendations. According to Mamuka Kudava, consultations on
    this issue are held with countries-partners Georgia cooperates in the
    sphere of energy with.

    Chairperson of the parliament of Georgia Nino Burjanadze, who visits
    Paris, confirmed the fact that talks were held with French party on
    possible construction of the nuclear power station in Georgia, though
    she stressed that there was no concrete projects in that sphere".
    According to her, the issue was discussed at the meeting of Mikheil
    Saakashvili with Nikolas Sarcozy. "In any case cooperation with this
    company is of great importance for Georgia. Here the question is not
    about creation and use of nuclear weapon, cooperation is with peaceful
    aims", Nino Burjanadze stressed.
