On March 10, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the third reactor of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) under construction in Turkey's Mersin province.
According to Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih Dönmez, the event will take place in a video conference format.
