 Turkish media outlets widely covered on Monday that the toll of lung cancer patients has sharply grown in the eastern parts of the country where Turkey has border with Armenia. Turkish media experts supposed that the reason of such an increased toll was the radiation flow of Metsamor atomic power station of Armenia. “Anadolu” state-run news agency wrote that special detectors to check the radiation level have been installed in Igdir.

Today, Turkish media hurried to spread news which denied previous information. “Sondakika” news website writes that physician Bekir Dogan declared those detectors installed in different parts of Igdir have absolutey nothing to do with the power station of Metsamor.

“We simply research the radiation gas amount in the eastern parts, thus we installed special detectors. Those activities have nothing to do with Metsamor and the power stations,” Bekir Dogan said.

This topic is being irrelevantly speculated by the Turkish media outlets every year. The hysteria of horror has never been approved by any facts. Armenia’s atomic power station meets all the security standards and is no threat of radiation for our neighbor Turkey.
