In recognition of his accomplishments and contributions to AGBU and the Egyptian-Armenian community, Berdj Terzian has been conferred the title of Honorary Chairman of AGBU Cairo.

Berdj Terzian's involvement with AGBU goes back over half a century, having joined the organization's scout troupe in 1954. Ten years later, he became a member and was appointed to the AGBU District Committee of Egypt, of which he is chairman since 1988. In the interim, he held various executive positions on this regional committee. As for the Cairo Chapter, he has been a member of its executive committee at various times and served as its chairman from 1992 to 2002.

Although much devoted to AGBU, Berdj Terzian has contributed his time and energy over the years to other Armenian organizations, such as the Diocesan and Executive Councils of the Armenian Prelacy of Cairo and the Educational Council of the same, Board of Trustees of Noubarian National School, "Arev" daily and its monthly Arabic Supplement.

A graduate of the Mekhitarist School of Cairo and Maronite Fathers' School, Terzian received his higher education at Ain Shams University and attended courses at the American University of Cairo. In 1969, he founded his own press, African Press, which specializes in the production of boxes and labels through offset printing. This firm became transformed into a joint stock company in 1996 and, at the present time, Terzian holds the position of Chairman and Managing Director of its board of directors. He played a major role with the cooperation of the Centennial Committee members in organizing the memorable AGBU Centennial celebrations in Egypt last year.
