"Dok Turska vjerovatno neće graditi komercijalne objekte za obogaćivanje i preradu, što bi bilo nemoguće skupo, ona tumači tekst NPT-a -- koji ne daje jasne smjernice po tom pitanju -- tako da on omogućava državama bez nuklearnih potencijala da imaju tehnologiju za obogaćivanje i preradu u sklopu mirnodopskog nuklearnog programa, i ona smatra da države koje nemaju nuklearnog naoružanja ne moraju odustati od tog navodnog prava," kaže Varnum za SETimes.
"While Turkey is unlikely to construct commercial enrichment or reprocessing facilities, which would be prohibitively expensive, it interprets the NPT text -- which does not offer clear guidance on this issue -- as permitting non-nuclear weapon states to have enrichment and reprocessing technologies as part of a peaceful nuclear programme, and does not believe that non-nuclear weapon states should have to give up this alleged right," Varnum told SETimes.
