Armenia will refuse a 200 million euro ($282 million) loan from the European Union (EU) to close its only atomic power plant, a top government official said Tuesday, reiterating that they currently have no other major source for electricity. Armenia has been under pressure from the EU to shut down the Soviet-built Medzamor reactor, located 30 kilometers west of Yerevan, due to safety concerns."
