133. Founded in early 1917, the ANU brought together

various Armenian organizations and political parties active in Egypt, including the AGBU, which was represented by Mihran Ghazarosian, president of the board of the Cairo chapter.

134. Founded just after the outbreak of World War I, the

Armenian Red Cross brought together representatives of various Egyptian-Armenian organizations. Bishop Torkom Kushagian, Egypt's Armenian prelate, was the honorary president of the Red Cross, the main objec-tive of which was to train Armenian nurses and send them to the Caucasian front to assist the groups of Armenian volunteers serving as auxiliaries in the Czar's army. This objective was never reached, which is why the Red Cross

limited itself to aiding refugees from Musa Dagh and, later, Armenian deportees discovered in areas conquered by the British troops.
