Ayaşlı İsmail Pasha (also known as Nişancı İsmail Kemalettin Pasha; 1620 – April 1690) was a short-term
grand vizier
in 1688.
Early years
He was of
Ayaş (in modern Ankara Province, Turkey) in 1620. After working as a bureaucrat in various posts, he retired from being the Ottoman governor of Rumelia Eyalet (eastern Thrace). However, he returned to government service in 1678 as a nişancı.[2]
He was described as mild-mannered, an anachronistic quality in that era of the Ottoman Empire.
As a grand vizier
The
Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha (a future grand vizier), who was the brother-in-law of the late grand vizier Abaza Siyavuş Pasha. After the intensive efforts of Fazıl Mustafa Pasha, İsmail Pasha was dismissed from office by sultan Süleyman II on 2 May.[3]
Death
İsmail Pasha was imprisoned in Kavala (in modern Greece) and then exiled to the island of Rhodes (in modern Greece). Now grand vizier, Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa accused Ayaşlı İsmail Pasha of seizing Abaza Siyavuş Pasha's fortune and asked for the fortune in return for pardon. Ayaşlı İsmail Pasha denied all accusations, and Fazıl Mustafa Pasha had him executed him later that year, in April 1690.
