Several Armenian officials have expressed the desire for their country to eventually become an EU member state,[30] some predicting that it will make an official bid for membership in a few years.[31] However, the current president, Robert Kocharian, has said he will keep Armenia tied to Russia and the CSTO, becoming partners, not members of the EU and NATO.[32]
Public opinion in Armenia suggests the move for membership would be welcomed, with 64% out of a sample of 2000 being in favour and only 11.8% being against.[33]
Armenia is still in conflict over the disputed area of Nagorno-Karabakh with neighbouring Azerbaijan. Since 1994 a ceasefire has been in place, but tensions remain very high. Although the country's economy had one of the world's fastest growth rates in the past few years, this comes off a low base and many years of near-continuous recession.[34] The Metsamor nuclear power plant, which is situated some 40km west of the Armenian capital Yerevan, is built on top of an active seismic zone and is a matter of negotiation between Armenia and the EU.
