High Comissioner of the League of Natioans, recipient the Nobel Peace Prize, National Hero of Norway, physician, polar explorer and great friend of the Armenian people Fridtjoff Nansen encountered numbers of Armenian refugees, who escaped the Great Genocide committed by the Turks. He also has implemented a prolific work in introducing the Armenian problem to the world. It is well-known that Nansen has given passports with his own signature to those Armenians who had no documents. And those passports were accepted in many countries. In those times the great humanitarian helped the people of Povoljie to escape starvation. He sent to Russia 4000 trains packed with food, as a result of which, 7 million people escaped death. Today one in every 5 Russians is the generation of those who once were saved by Fridtjoff Nansen. In 1925 Nansen visited Armenia in order to learn personally the refugees’ situation. He understood that the super-powers and the League of Nations once again have deceived Armenians and himself. After this, he left for the United States, hoping to collect donations. Nansen delivered lectures in all Universities, receiving money in return. And in the end, in the streets of big cities, the citizen of the world, Fridtjoff Nansen, began to ask for money for Armenian refugees.
