In 1779 he was appointed to the Black Sea Coast of Circassia and built several forts and mosques. He was a devshirme of Georgian origin^[1] and was famous as a pious Muslim person. His life can be studied from the notes of Haşim Efendi and the History of Cevdet Pasha.^[2] Ferah Ali Pasha, who visited the region after settling in Soğucak, said in the letter he sent to Istanbul: "The people of this region are brave and honest people. If fortifications are made in the region, it will become a country like Crimea, it will put a strong barrier against the enemy."^[3][4]
