James Bryce is one of the prominent figures of Armenophil movement in the Great Britain. In 1876 he established and headed "Anglo-Armenian Society" and as its secretary traveled to Caucasus and Armenia, outlining his impressions in the book "Transcaucasia and Ararat" (1877).
Lord Bryce was one of those first to raise his voice of protest against the policy of extermination of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. During the Armenian Genocide he made a significant contribution in establishment of British-Armenian Red Cross and Refugee Fund.
