The Turkish Energy Ministry said it is seeking to resolve a dispute between the parties involved in the construction of a $20 billion nuclear power plant by Russia's Rosatom at Akkuyu in southern Turkey.
Akkuyu Nukleer, a Rosatom unit, said on Saturday it signed an agreement with TSM Enerji to undertake the remaining construction work at the plant after terminating a deal with Turkish firm IC Ictas.
IC Ictas said on Monday it had launched a legal challenge to the termination of the deal by Akkuyu Nukleer. TSM is owned by three Russia-based companies, according to the Turkish trade registry.
