Career at European Movement International

[edit]

During his first term, important projects and events took place, such as the 2nd[1] and 3rd[2] Congresses of the North-South Mediterranean Dialogue for a Shared Vision of the Future (Alicante and Tunis, respectively), the EMI Congress on Civil Society in Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries[3] (Istanbul) and the EMI Congress on Eastern Partnership Countries[4] (Yerevan), as well as the first-ever statutory meeting held outside the EU (Belgrade).

Pinto was appointed for a second three-year term as secretary general at the EMI Federal Assembly meeting held in Brussels on 26 May 2012.[5]

Career at European Friends of Armenia

[edit]

In July 2016, Pinto joined European Friends of Armenia (EuFoA) as its director.[6]

During Pinto's time, the EuFoA addressed issues related to Armenia-European Union relations (especially regarding the new Armenia-EU Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement[7]), promoted Armenia and its realities, and gave visibility to Artsakh and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Brussels and elsewhere in Europe. This was done through the organization of events, gathering and spreading of analysis and opinions, and a constant dialogue with EU officials and decision-makers. Personalities such as Armen Ashotyan, Frank Engel, Heidi Hautala, Tatoul Markarian, Masis Mayilyan, Ruben Melikyan, Garegin Melkonyan, Serzh Sargsyan, Hans-Jochen Schmidt, Jaromir Stetina, Piotr Świtalski and Arman Tatoyan are among those who spoke at EuFoA events.[8][9][10][11][12][13][excessive citations]
