Biography
In early times, Ahmed Pasha served as a Janissary and soon was elevated as Kapıcıbaşı. Later he became governor of İbrail. During Russo-Turkish War (1806–1812) he was sent to Erzerum to lead the Ottoman army. After the first victories in the battles, Ahmed Pasha was elevated to Grand vizier office. However, with the signing of the Treaty of Bucharest on May 28, 1812, he was accused by Hurshid Pasha for being incompetent and soon was dismissed. On September 5, 1812, he was replaced by Hurshid Pasha. In 1814, Laz Ahmet Pasha became governor of Bursa, then Aleppo and Erzurum. He died in March 1819 in Erzurum.
