Murat Pasha was reappointed as the Grand Vizier on 11 May 1655. His second term was very short; due to economic problems as well as opposition from the Janissaries, he had to resign on 19 August 1655. He was then appointed to the governorship of [[Eyalet of Damascus|Damascus]] in [[Syria]], but along the way to take up the post, he fell ill and died. It is interesting to note that in the five years between his two terms, six different [[pasha]]s were appointed Grand Viziers, an indication of the political instability of the empire in the mid-17th century. |

Vorlage:Use dmy dates Vorlage:Other uses Vorlage:Infobox Officeholder Kara Murat Pasha, or Kara Dev Murat Pasha (Turkish, lit. Giant Black Murat Pasha; died 1655), was an Ottoman statesman and military officer. He served as Kapudan Pasha and twice as Grand Vizier. His epithets Kara ("black") refer to his courage and Dev ("giant") to his physical size.
Early years
Murat was a devshirme of Albanian origin. He distinguished himself in the early phases of Cretan War between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice. He was assigned to various posts in the Janissary corps (the professional regiments that formed the core of the Ottoman army), and in 1648, during the enthronement of Mehmed IV, he was promoted to be commander of the Janissary corps (Vorlage:Lang-tr).[1] When the Ottoman Navy was defeated by the Venetians in the Battle of Focchies on 12 May 1649, the Grand Vizier Sofu Mehmet Pasha was blamed for the defeat, and he was replaced by Kara Murat Pasha on 21 May. Murat had Sofu Mehmet Pasha exiled and then executed.
First term as Grand Vizier
The Ottoman Empire was undergoing a prolonged period of stagnation in the first half of the 17th century, characterized by insecure and weak sultans and palace intrigues, the Sultanate of Women. At the time of Murat's appointment as Grand Vizier, the sultan was only seven years old and the two Valide sultans (his mother Turhan Hatice and grand mother Kösem), who were acting as regents, were locked in a power struggle. While Kösem supported Murat, Turhan Hatice was against him. Moreover, the leaders of the Janissaries, Murat's former colleagues, were also against him. Feeling that his life was in danger, Murat resigned on 5 August 1650.[2] Upon his suggestion, he was succeeded by Melek Ahmet Pasha.
After his resignation, Murat was appointed as the governor of Budin (modern Budapest, Hungary). In 1653, he returned to Istanbul and was appointed Kapudan Pasha (Grand Admiral) and tasked with transporting reinforcements and ammunition to Crete by sea. The Venetian navy was blockading the Dardanelles Strait at the time, but Murat managed to defeat the Venetians and break their blockade in the First Battle of the Dardanelles.[1]
Second term as Grand Vizier and death
Murat Pasha was reappointed as the Grand Vizier on 11 May 1655. His second term was very short; due to economic problems as well as opposition from the Janissaries, he had to resign on 19 August 1655. He was then appointed to the governorship of Damascus in Syria, but along the way to take up the post, he fell ill and died. It is interesting to note that in the five years between his two terms, six different pashas were appointed Grand Viziers, an indication of the political instability of the empire in the mid-17th century.
