H%C3%BCseyin Hilmi Pasha
Hseyin Hilmi Pasha was an Ottoman statesman of Greek descent and twice Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire around the time of the Second Constitutional Era. He was also onetime president of the Turkish Red Crescent. Hseyin Hilmi was one of the most successful Ottoman administrators in the explosive Balkans of the early 20th century, becoming the Ottoman InspectorateGeneral of Macedonia from 1902 to 1908, Minister of the Interior from 1908 to 1909, and ambassador to AustriaHungary from 1912 to 1918.
Hseyin Hilmi was born in 1855 in Lesbos to a family of Greek ancestry who had formerly converted to Islam. He did his primary studies in Lesbos and learned fluent French at an early age. He started out as a clerk in the Ottoman state structure and gradually climbed the ladder of the hierarchy, becoming the governor of Adana in 1897 and of Yemen in 1902. That same year in 1902, he was appointed InspectorateGeneral with responsibility over virtually all of the Balkan territories of the Ottoman Empire at the time, namely the vilayets of Salonica, Kosovo and Manastir.
