Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear energy corporation, has accused ‘unfriendly countries’ of causing delays in wage payments at the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey. The accusations follow a workers’ protest over the extended period of unpaid salaries, with Rosatom linking the issue to political tensions.
The protest, which took place at the Akkuyu site, was a reaction to prolonged delays in salary payments, which have sparked concerns about labor conditions and project progress. Rosatom’s statement highlights the impact of geopolitical tensions on the operations of the plant, which is a significant project for both Russia and Turkey.
The delay in wage payments has caused unrest among the workforce, with workers expressing frustration over the lack of financial support. The situation has raised questions about the management of the project and the potential for further delays in its completion.
Rosatom has not provided specific details on which countries are being blamed, but its statement suggests that political factors are influencing the economic aspects of the project. The situation underscores the complex interplay between geopolitical relations and economic operations in international infrastructure projects.
