"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.
„Iako je malo verovatno da će Turska graditi komercijalne objekte za obogaćivanje ili preradu, što bi bilo obeshrabrujuće skupo, ona tumači tekst NPT-a -- koji ne pruža jasne smernice o tom pitanju -- kao dozvoljavanje zemljama koje nemaju nuklearno oružje da imaju tehnologije za obogaćivanje i preradu, u sklopu mirnodopskog nuklearnog programa, i ne smatra da zemlje koje nemaju nuklearno oružje treba da odustanu od tog svog navodnog prava“, rekla je Varnum za SETimes.
