Notables Who Went to War
The entry records together three Amasya notables who took part in the Ottoman-Russian war that began in 1768 and died. The campaign lasting about three years and the death in 1185, considered together with the fact that the war ended with the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca in 1774, fall in the middle of the war. The previous entry (Hacı Kadirzâde) spoke of those who went to the same war as volunteers in 1182. No information was found in other sources about these persons.
