Izzet Ahmed Pasha

Izzet Ahmed Pasha, also known as Ahmed Izzet Pasha or Hacı Izzet Pasha or Hakkı Paşazâde Izzet Pasha, was an Ottoman statesman who held a lengthy series of provincial governorships from 1841 to 1870. He was also a vizier.
Early in his career, Izzet Ahmed Pasha was first kapıcıbaşı at the imperial palace in Constantinople and later the voivode of the Sanjak of Sivas. He was then made a ferik in the Ottoman army. After this, he served as the Ottoman governor of:

Izzet Ahmed Pasha was the son of Hakkı Mehmed Pasha, a prominent bureaucrat, vizier, and statesman of the time, and reportedly counted the 16th-century statesman Sokollu Mehmed Pasha as among his ancestors. While posted in Baghdad, he married the daughter of Ali Rıza Pasha, Baghdad's governor. When his father-in-law was dismissed from the governorship of Baghdad, the decree that dismissed him cited Izzet Ahmed Pasha as a source of complaints against alleged abuses of his father-in-law's administration, most likely pointing to a fallout or disagreement between the two, or a political plot against Ali Rıza Pasha by his son-in-law.
With his wife, Izzet Ahmed Pasha himself had three sons: Aziz Pasha, also a serial provincial governor; Hakkı Pasha, a mutasarrıf of Bihać; and Süleyman Bey.
Izzet Ahmed Pasha retired from public office in 1870. He died six years later on 20 February 1876 and was buried in Haydarpaşa Cemetery in Istanbul.
