From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hüseyin Kazım Kadri or Hüseyin Kazım Bey (1870-20 January 1934) was a Turkish statesman and writer who served as a governor and a minister[1] in the last years of the Ottoman Empire.

Hüseyin Kazım Kadri

Hüseyin Kazım Kadri was born in 1870 in Istanbul's Beylerbeyi district.[2] His father was Kadri Pasha (1843-1902), who was the governor of Trabzon. Hüseyin Kazım Kadri graduated from Soğukçeşme Military High School and went to a Civil Service School. He published Tanin Newspaper together with Tevfik Fikret and Hüseyin Cahit upon the proclamation of the Constitutional Monarchy in 1908.

He was appointed as the governor of Aleppo between August 1910 and July 1911. He served as the mayor of Istanbul for a short time between July and August 1911. He put forward his candidacy in April–August 1912 and was elected as the deputy of Saruhan. When the Parliament was shut down, he was appointed as the Governor of Thessaloniki again, and was assigned to Syria during the First World War. In 1920, he was elected as a deputy from Aydın in the last chamber of deputies and entered the parliament. He served as the Deputy First Chief in the Parliament of Deputies. He was the Minister of Court between February and March 1920, the Minister of Commerce between October 1920 and June 1921, the Minister of Foundations between June and August 1921, and the Minister of Court again between August 1921 and July 1922. He also participated in meetings between Mustafa Kemal Pasha and the Ottoman delegation in Bilecik in 1921. Although he promised Mustafa Kemal Pasha that he would not take office in the government when he returned to Istanbul in this meeting, he did not keep his promise and continued his duty as a government minister.[3] Using the pen-name of Sheikh Muhsin-i Fani, he wrote articles in the newspapers Tanin, İkdam, İçtihad and Servet-i Fünûn on religion, economy, philosophy, language and politics.

He left politics during the Republican years. He spent his last years in his family's mansion in Beylerbeyi. He died in Tarsus in 1934. His grave is in Istanbul's Üsküdar district.[4]
