A news article claiming that a French company has been shipping nuclear waste to Armenia is fake news targeting Armenia's international reputation, Armenian authorities said on Saturday.
In a statement, the Ministry of Environment said that the article titled “French Orano company has been secretly transporting nuclear waste to Armenia which will be stored in a national park” is “entirely disinformation and untrue.”
The ministry called on the media to act responsibly and refrain from circulating reports of unknown origin without fact-checking.
