Abstract
Founding a strong pan-national organization with a cultural, philanthropic, and non-partisan orientation was a topic of serious and extensive discussion among Armenian activists in the early twentieth century.
This idea was implemented by Boghos Nubar Pasha of Egypt. Nubar was convinced that piecemeal fundraising and individual help was not enough to alleviate the dire conditions of the Armenians due to continual massacres and killings in the Ottoman Empire all the beginning of the 20th Century.
Against the backdrop of various attempts at establishing a pan-Armenian philantropic, a-political, and non-partisan organization, the author highlights certain factors that turned Nubar's brainchild into a success, unlike its various predecessors, which were limited constrained within the boundaries of single states, and did not have an untouchable fund.
The author also notes that Nubar's authority was a guarantee of the success of the project as he gave credit and weight to the organization. The news was welcomed by both the native Armenians of the Ottoman Empire and those who resided beyond its borders.
The author notes that the founding of the AGBU happened at the right time. It had a huge impact on the cultural, educational and economic improvement of Armenians worldwide.
