Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci has said that Akkuyu nuclear plant, which is being built in Mersin, will pose serious risks to the region and its people.
Kibris Postasi reports that whilst addressing the first Environment Workshop organised by the “environment and natural resources ministry” , Akinci drew attention to the risks of nuclear energy stating the disadvantages of building a nuclear plant in Mersin which is located on a fault line.
Akinci also said that the environment is a global issue and that all countries are bound to prioritize this reality first and foremost.
Referring to the nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Fukushima, Akinci said: “The nuclear plant in Mersin town is very risky as it is in the earthquake zone. This nuclear plant can cause serious harm to environment and all living beings”.
