Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph document signed by Mehmed Said Pasha sent to Trabzon Vilayat, Ordu Kaza, Hasbamane Nahiya local manager, faziletlu 'Mehmed Ali Sevki Beyefendi'. 33,5x20 cm. Folded. 1 p. In Ottoman script. Mehmed Said Pasha was an Ottoman monarchist, senator, statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Jerid-i-Havadis. He supported the CUP, the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebazâde family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession, and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa, reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II, and once under his successor, Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896, he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople, and, though then assured of his personal liberty and safety, remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908. On 22 July he succeeded Mehmed Ferid Pasha as grand vizier, but on the 6 August was replaced by the more liberal Kâmil Pasha, at the insistence of the Young Turks. Also during 1908, Mehmed Said Pasha bought the famed Istanbul arcade in the Beyoglu (Pera) district, today known as Çiçek Pasaji ("Flower Passage"). The modern name became common in the 1940s; during Mehmed Said Pasha's ownership in the 1900s and 1910s, the arcade was known as Sait Pasa Pasaji ("Said Pasha Passage"). During the Italian crisis in 1911-12, he was again called to the premiership. He was again removed from power by the Savior Officers (who backed the Freedom and Accord Party (Liberal Union) against the Committee of Union and Progress) and replaced by a new cabinet supported by the Officers and the Freedom and Accord Party. The CUP would return to power, however, the next year after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. (Source: Wikipedia). Seven lines on special paper with watermark 'Joynson Superfine'.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original paper autograph letter handwritten signed by Mahmud Sevket, Izzeddin Çalislar. (33x21 cm). In Ottoman script. 2 p. Repaired back side. Request of a surgical operation by 'Said bin Mehmed' (Siroz Redif Taburu Efrâdindan) and Mahmud Sevket Pasha and Izzeddin's confirmations. Signed by Mahmud Shevket Pasha as "commander of Turkish countercoup of 1909 (Hareket Army)" and by Izzeddin [Çalislar] as "Erkân-i Harb Kolagasi (Batallion commander)". The Ottoman countercoup of 1909 (13 April 1909) was an attempt to dismantle the Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire and replace it with an autocracy under Sultan/Caliph Abdul Hamid II. Unfortunately for the advocates of representative parliamentary government, mutinous demonstrations by disenfranchised regimental officers broke out which led to the collapse of the Ottoman government. Characterized as a counterrevolution, chaos reigned briefly and several people were killed in the confusion. It was instigated by some parts of the Ottoman Army in a large part by a certain Cypriot Islamic extremist. Dervish Vahdeti reigned supreme in Istanbul for 11 days. The Countercoup was put down in the 31 March Incident, on 24 April 1909 by the Army of Action (Hareket Ordusu) which was the 11th Salonika Reserve Infantry Division of to the Third Army (Ottoman Empire) commanded by Mahmud Shevket Pasha. Extremely rare.
