ICHD's Executive Director Tevan Poghosyan participated  as one of the key speakers in ALDE Armenia Day in the European Parliament in Brussels on 9 June 2010.  The conference was devoted to Armenia's increasing  importance to the EU due to the nexus of the economic and political problems related to its geopolitical situation between Russia, Turkey and Iran. The conference was organized around two panels: the first panel on Armenia's geopolitical situation, and the second panel on human rights and civil society. The Eastern partnership, Turkey's negotiations with the EU  and a number of pipeline and energy projects in the region are just a few issues shared by the EU and Armenia. The conference was followed by the projection of Sergey Parajanov's  film "The color of Pomegranates".
