Mikael Portukal Pasha, also known as Mikael Portakalyan (1841 – 1897) was an Ottoman-Armenian economist, educator and politician during the late Tanzimat period.[1][2] He succeeded to Hagop Kazazian Pasha as Minister of the Privy Treasury of the Ottoman Empire, under the rule of monarch Abdul Hamid II.

At that time, there began to be greater recognition of Armenian cultural identity in the Ottoman Empire, in an eco-demographic dynamic that fueled Armenian social and political momentum. There was indeed an urban Armenian elite in Constantinople, to the point that an Armenian could become Minister of the Privy Treasury.
