TurhanPasha Përmeti (19 December 1846 – 18 February 1927)[1] was an Albanian politician and statesman who served as the secondprime minister of Albania, serving from March 1914 to September 1914 and from December 1918 to January 1920. He was also in service of the Ottoman state and held the title ofPasha of theOttoman Empire.
Among the Ottoman posts he occupied wereGovernor ofCrete 1895 and 1896, andambassador inSaint Petersburg. He was a fluentGreek speaker and considered a capable though rather indecisive administrator. His governorship of Crete ended with the insurrection of May 24, 1896 that eventually led to the loss of the island by the Ottoman Empire. Përmeti represented the Ottoman Empire as its delegate at theSecond Hague Peace Conference of 1907.[2]
On 17 March 1914, he was appointed asPrime Minister andMinister of Foreign Affairs byPrince Wied, in the so-called Definitive Government. He became Albania's second prime minister succeedingIsmail Qemali. Përmeti remained foreign minister until May 28, 1914, then replaced byPrenk Bib Doda, who himself was succeeded by Mehmed Konica in July.[3] Përmeti's contemporaries argued that, because he had lacked affiliation with the Albanian national cause, he was not familiar with the needs of Albanians. His premiership was interrupted by Albanian discontent twice. He was overthrown byEssad Toptani in 1914, and then by theCongress of Lushnjë in 1920.[citation needed]
Përmeti served as the secondprime minister of Albania from 14 March 1914 to 3 September 1914 and on a second term from 25 December 1918 to 29 January 1920.[4][5]
The composition of government was proposed since the first session of the meetings.[6] Përmeti's government of thePrincipality of Albania (25 December 1918 – 29 January 1920) includedPrenk Bib Doda,Mufid Libohova,Luigj Bumçi,Mustafa Merlika-Kruja,Mihal Turtulli,Mehmed Konica,Sami Vrioni,Mid'hat Frashëri,Luigj Gurakuqi,Lef Nosi,Fejzi Alizoti and alsoPetro Poga.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
