The governments of Turkey and Russia signed a nuclear cooperation deal on the sidelines of the CICA meeting in Istanbul. According to the agreement, Turkey and Russia will exchange information and know-how on licensing and supervision of the nuclear facilities to be established in Turkey. In May, the two countries sealed a deal on the establishment of Turkey's first nuclear power plant in Akkuyu-Mersin by Russia. The power plant is estimated to cost USD 20bn.
