SOAR - Lisbon Chapter
Lisbon joined the SOAR family in May 2017. Portugal formally recognized the independence of the Democratic Republic of Armenia on August 10, 1920 and entered into a solemn compact not only to respect, but to preserve as against external aggression, the territorial integrity and political independence of Armenia. One of the most notable Armenians who resided in Portugal was Calouste Gulbenkian, a wealthy Armenian businessman and philanthropist, who made Lisbon the headquarters for his businesses. He established an international charity, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in Lisbon.
