Career

He graduated from the military academy in Constantinople and was sent to Vienna to continue his education (1836–1841). He was the commander of the Ottoman forces based in eastern Anatolia during the Crimean War where he led many assaults against the Russian forces based in Gyumri. He assumed the command of the fortress at Kars and won the Battle of Bayandir.[2] However, he was isolated from the court in Constantinople, and due to plotting by his well-connected subordinate, Ahmed Pasha, he was blamed for one of Ahmed Pasha's military failures. Subsequently, in January 1854, Abdülkerim Nadir Pasha was discharged from his position and replaced by the same Ahmed Pasha.[3] After the war he was appointed as the governor of Thessaloniki.

He was elected to the

Russo-Turkish War. After several command failures in this war, he was court martialed and exiled to the island of Rhodes
, where he died.

The Anatolian army was under the command of Müşir Abdülkerim Nadir Pasha (better known as Çırpanlı Abdi Pasha, 1807-1883) and this army was deployed in Erzurum, Kars, Ardahan and Bayezid.
