Who is Hurşid Ahmed Paşa? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Hurshid Ahmed Pasha (died 20 November 1822) was an Ottoman general and Grand Vizier during the early 19th century. Of Georgian descent, he was kidnapped and taken to Constantinople as a youth, where he was enrolled in the Janissaries and eventually appointed to several high positions. He successfully suppressed an uprising in Serbia in October 1813 and held the position of Grand Vizier between 1813 and 1815. In late 1820, he was charged with the suppression of Ali Pasha of Yanina's revolt. Soon after this, a Greek uprising began in the Morea. Hurshid Pasha defeated Ali Pasha and had him killed in early 1822, but his subordinates failed to put down the Greek uprising.
