Zurnazen Mustafa Pasha was an Ottoman statesman. He was Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire during 4 hours on 5 March 1656. He is sometimes excluded from the lists of Ottoman Grand Viziers. He was promoted from in-attorney title to the rank of full grand vizier due to the influence he exerted on the sultan for Gazi Hüseyin Pasha's dismissal from the office. His appointment caused an uprising in Istanbul and he was exiled after having held the seal for four hours.[1]
