Tigrane Pasha (Arabic: تكران باشا (Dikran) (d. 27 July 1904, Evian-les-Bains) was an Egyptian-Armenian politician and the ninth Foreign Minister of Egypt. He served as Foreign Minister from 1891 to 1894, under three Prime Ministers.

Career

Tigrane was a nephew of the powerful statesman Nubar Pasha. He received a European education, and was less than fluent in Arabic and Turkish.[1] In 1865, his uncle appointed him to the railway administration. In 1878, he was secretary general of the Council of Ministers during his uncle's first term as prime minister.[2]
