Abstract

Mahmud Sevket Pasha, who was one of the important authoritative figures during the final years of the Ottoman State, served the Ottoman Army for long years and was appointed to the post of Grand Vizier through the support of The Society of Union and Progress following the Raid on the Sublime Porte, which occurred on 23 January 1913. Mahmud Sevket Pasha, who was in office as Grand Vizier and the Minister of War during the most severe conditions of the Balkan Wars, was assassinated in Istanbul Bayezid on 11 June 1913.
