The Turkish energy ministry said it is seeking to resolve a dispute between the parties involved in the construction of a $20bn (€19.6bn) nuclear power station by Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom at Akkuyu in southern Turkey.
Akkuyu Nukleer, a unit of Rosatom, said on Saturday it signed an agreement with TSM Enerji to undertake the remaining construction work at the plant after terminating a deal with Turkish firm IC Ictas.
IC Ictas said it had launched a legal challenge to the termination of the deal by Akkuyu Nukleer. TSM is owned by three Russia-based companies, according to the Turkish trade registry.
