Turhan Pasha Pėrmeti

Turhan Pasha Pėrmeti (1839? - 1927) was a veteran high Ottoman official for many years before joining the Albanian nationalist movement. Among the Ottoman posts he occupied were Governor of Crete 1895 and 1896, and ambassador in Saint Petersburg. He was a fluent Greek speaker and considered a capable though rather indecisive administrator. His governorship of Crete ended with the insurrection of May 24, 1896 that eventually led to the loss of the island by the Ottoman Empire. He was also a Prime Minister of Albania in 1914 and then again in 1918-1920.
