Çırağan incident

Çırağan incident, also known as the Çırağan raid, was a failed coup attempt that took place on May 20, 1878 by a group of dissident people led by Ali Suavi to replace Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II with his brother Murat V who was held in Çırağan Palace.[1]

Chronology of events

Ali Suavi, one of Abdulhamid's opponents, and a group of approximately 150 people went to Çırağan Palace by boat and neutralized the guards of the palace. The rebels reached the section where Murad V was, but since Murad V was not in a healthy state of mind, he became afraid and refused to go with the rebels. As a result, Ali Suavi could not convince the former sultan.

Meanwhile, the soldiers under the command of Beşiktaş Guard Yedisekiz Hasan Pasha arrived at the incident and killed sixty of the rebels. Hasan Pasha also killed Ali Suavi by hitting his head with a thick stick and thus ended the revolution attempt.[2]

Results

Aftermath of the incident, Abdul Hamid II became paranoid of being overthrown, while his brother Murad V ceased to be a rival for Abdulhamid. Feeling threated, two years later Abdul Hamid II created Ottoman secret police whose members' main task was to gather information and spy on dissitent groups operating inside and outside the empire.[3]
