Abstract:

Ahmed Pasha served as Governor of Rakka between 1731 and 1745. The Ottoman-Iran struggle continued throughout a very wide border during the years of his office. Regional flights were occasionally organized to rescue cities occupied by the Iranian forces. For this purpose, military ships were carried out from the provinces near the border areas. In this scope, Ahmed Pasha has more served in cities such as Baghdad, Mosul, Kirkuk, Erzurum and Kars. It is known that he and those who were in his possession during the ruling of Rakka did very severe practices against the ahali, and therefore he did not come to the Ruha, which was the place of duty in the last period of his life. In contrast to its useful services against the state, he was withdrawn from office due to pressure and persecution against the people and decided to be deported to the island of Rhodes. But though there were a lot of crowds around him, he moved from Kilis and died when he arrived at Mercidabık. After the death of Ahmed Pasha, there was a number of remembrances. First of all, it was sold, and then it was sold, and then it was sold, and then it was sold, and then it was sold. In Hamalızâde, Ahmed Pasha's Rakka governorate, his activities on the eastern border and eventually his death, the detection and sale process were first studied by taking on the chronicles of the period along with the books and documents in the Ottoman Archive.

Abstract:

Hamalızâde Ahmed Pasha served as the governor of Raqqa at several intervals between 1731 and 1745. During the years he served there, the Ottoman-Iran struggle continued along a wide border. From time to time, regional campaigns were organized to save the cities occupied by Iranian forces. For this reason , military shipments were made from the provinces close to the border regions. In this context, Ahmed Pasha mostly worked in cities such as Baghdad, Mosul, Kirkuk, Erzurum and Kars. It is known that during the Raqqah Governorate, he and his attendants performed very severe implementations against the people, and therefore could not return to Ruha, which was his post in the last period of his life. Although he had useful services for state, he was dismissed from his post because of his oppression and persecution against local community, and it was decided to be exiled to Rhodes Island. However, although there were very crowded groups around him, he died while he was going to Marj Dabiq from Kilis. It was determined that he had a considerable amount of inheritance (muhallefat) with the death of Ahmed Pasha. Primarily the goods, assets and animals found in Marj Dabiq and then in Ruha were listed and sold. With Hamalızâde Ahmed Pasha's governorship, activities on the eastern border, and finally his death, detection of his inheritance by recording and sales process were examined by taking advantage of the chronicles of the period, along with the registeries and documents in the Ottoman State Archives.
