Boghos Nubar (Western Armenian: Պօղոս Նուպար), also known as Boghos Nubar Pasha (Պօղոս Նուպար Փաշա) (2 August 1851 – 25 June 1930), was the son of Nubar Pasha, a three time governor of Egypt.[1] A chairman of the Armenian National Delegation,[2] and the founder, alongside ten other Armenian national movement leaders, of the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) on April 15, 1906, becoming its first ever president, a position he held from 1906 to 1928.
Nubar was born in Istanbul (capital of the Ottoman Empire) in 1851. His father was Egyptian Prime Minister Nubar Pasha. He was educated in Egypt and France as a civil engineer. Worked on water works of Egypt and irrigation projects in Sudan.
As early as the beginning of 1912 the Catholicos of Mother See of Echmiazin Gevork V had sent the Boghos Nubar to the Cabinets of Europe with a commission to demand administrative autonomy for Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. He has also been considered as one of the prominent Armenian figures in the Ottoman Empire.[5] This proceeding was a step for Russian and French policy in Constantinople almost at the same moment on March 15, 1913.
Boghos Nubar, the ambassador, repeatedly asserts that the Armenians of Ottoman Empire in no way desire to bring up the question of independence or constitutional changes (regarding Armenian National Constitution). Their sole aim is to secure the reforms drawn up by Russia France and England and provided for in the Treaty of Berlin reforms which have remained a dead letter hitherto. In February 1914, the Armenian reform package passed. On the other hand, this so-called Yeniköy accord was a reform plan devised by the European powers between 1912 and 1914 that envisaged the creation of two provinces in Ottoman Armenia placed under the supervision of two European inspectors general, who would be appointed to oversee matters related to the Armenian issues.
In January, 1919, The Times published a letter from Boghos Nubar (an Ottoman citizen) in which he protests, belatedly, about the non-representation of Armenians at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. The letter includes a useful summary of the Armenian contribution to the allied war effort.[4]
In the Caucasus, without mentioning the 150,000 Armenians in the Russian Armies, about 50,000 Armenian volunteers under Andranik, Nazarbekoff and others, not only fought for four years for the Entente, but after the breakdown of Russia, they were the only forces in the Caucasus to resist the advance of the Ottoman Empire, whom they held in check until the Armistice was signed. They helped the British in Mesopotamia by preventing the ...[6]
Boghos Nubar retired from politics in 1921 died in Paris in 1930.
