FUAD PASHA (1815-1869), Turkish statesman, was the son of the poet Kecheji-zade Izzet Molla. He was educated at the medical school and was at first an army surgeon. He became secretary of the embassy in London ; was employed on special missions in the principalities and at St. Petersburg and was sent to Egypt as special commissioner (1851). He was five times foreign minister. During the Crimean War he commanded the troops on the Greek frontier and distinguished himself by his bravery. He was Turkish delegate at the Paris conference of 1856; was charged with a mission to Syria in 186o ; grand vizier in 186o and 1861, and also minister of war. He died at Nice in 1869. Fuad was renowned for his boldness and promptness of decision, as well as for his ready wit and his many bons mots. Generally regarded as the partisan of a pro-English policy, he served his country well by his able management of foreign affairs, and not least by his efficacious settlement of affairs in Syria after the massacres of 186o.
