Armenian philanthropist and national activist Garabed Kalfayan died at the age of 84. 

He was an eminent representative of the Greek-Armenian community and a great Armenian patriot.

Kalfayan greatly assisted Armenia, especially ever since its early years of independence in 1991, specifically during the years of the Karabakh War.  

He had organized the delivery of about five dozen planes of humanitarian cargo to Armenia, for which he had received a special award from Elizabeth Dole, then-President of the American Red Cross.   

Owing to the efforts by the Kalfayan family, numerous initiatives have become a reality, such as many Armenian cultural ensembles’ performances in Greece and in Cyprus.  

During the first years of Armenia’s independence, Garabed Kalfayan was also the Armenian MFA’s first representative for the Government of Greece.
