Özdemir Pasha (died 1561,
Ottoman naval expeditions in the Indian Ocean). Later he became the Ottoman governor of Yemen and invaded Abyssinia
in 1557 for the Ottoman Empire, but failed and was captured in battle.
Özdemir Pasha was well-regarded for bringing some measure of stability in the otherwise difficult-to-govern Yemeni eyalet. Under his supervision, cities were garrisoned, fortresses were built and the trade routes were secured. His rule was cut short by his death in 1561 in
Sana
, Yemen.
His son,
grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire
from 1584 to 1585.
