Damat Ferid Pasha

Damat Mehmed Adil Ferid Pasha, known simply as Damat Ferid Pasha, was an Ottoman liberal statesman, who held the office of Grand Vizier, the de facto prime minister of the Ottoman Empire, during two periods under the reign of the last Ottoman Sultan Mehmed VI, the first time between 4 March 1919 and 2 October 1919 and the second time between 5 April 1920 and 21 October 1920. Officially, he was brought to the office a total of five times, since his cabinets were recurrently dismissed under various pressures and he had to present new ones. Because of his readiness to acknowledge atrocities against the Armenians, his involvement in the Treaty of Sèvres, and his collaboration with the occupying Allied powers, he became an unpopular figure in Turkey and emigrated to Europe at the end of the Greco-Turkish War.
