MEY. October 13. KAZINFORM /Lyudmila Malko/ "I am here, at the epicenter of the first nuclear tests. I am very impressed and can not find words for the first time," IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano has announced addressing to participants of the international forum in Kurchatov.
"Being a citizen of Japan, I have visited both Hiroshima and Nagasaki many times. I participated in elaboration of a text of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. And now I am convinced that nuclear testing should be never repeated, and they should be fully banned. Being the IAEA Head, I consider that a major task is to make world nuclear-free. The IAEA task is nuclear-weapons-free world," Yukiya Amano said at the "Ground Zero" of the Semipalatinsk Test Site.
