He was of Armenian descent, working for the Ministry of Public Education in 1888. It was noted in a period newspaper that he was one of many "non-Muslim" Egyptians working for the government at the time, a source of irritation among a segment of the population. [2] He was an Armenian Orthodox christian; again it was noted in 1895 that a "non-Muslim" was in charge of education for a largely Muslim population. [3]
