"I think there’s a good chance for Russian and Turkish partners to agree," Shmatko said in Mongolia Wednesday. "Russia has made an acceptable proposal to the Turkish side."

Turkey is examining an offer from Russia’s ZAO Atomstroyexport to build the country’s first nuclear plant, Energy Minister Taner Yıldız said May 6.

"I’m an optimist, I think it will take a month or two" to negotiate a price for the plant, said Shmatko, a former chief executive officer of Atomstroyexport .

Construction of the first two blocks of the plant would likely take between 8 and 10 years, Shmatko said.
