Sultan Abdülaziz was buried hastily the same day in the Sultan Mahmud

II Shrine at Divanyolu.

Turkish historian İsmail Hami Danişmend, in his five-volume İzahlı Os-

manlı Tarihi Kronolojisi (A Detailed Chronology of Ottoman History), list-
ed thirty one pieces of evidence proving why the Sultan did not commit sui-

cide. The physician of the British Embassy also said that no one would be able
to cut one's wrists like that, after seeing the body himself. 132

The account of Nazime Sultan, Sultan Abdülaziz's daughter, leaves no

room to doubt as to what happened:

Any claims that my father committed suicide are deceitful. I saw it with my
own eyes that they murdered my father. 133

No one believed the suicide lie, because one of the wrestlers that com-
mitted the murder confessed after a while:

Fahri Bey went from behind and held back his [Sultan Abdülaziz's] arms. Ha-
ji Mehmet and Algerian Mustafa sat on his knees. And I cut his veins in his
left arm as deep as I could with a pocketknife. I even pierced his right arm at

several places with the knife … 134

When an investigation was launched after the bloody attack, anglophile

Midhat Pasha sought refuge in the British Consulate, predicting how events
could unfold against him.

Historians report that prior to the coup, Midhat Pasha was constantly
over-praised by the European media, most notably by the British papers. In-
deed, during his first term as grand vizier before the coup, which lasted eighty

days, Midhat Pasha allowed Egypt and Tunisia to borrow independently,

which caused Egypt to come under British - and Tunisia under French - rule.
After the coup, he was again appointed grand vizier and he convened the
'Constantinople Conference' (aka the Shipyard Conference), together with the

participation of British officials. This conference was a milestone because

Midhat Pasha, primed by the British deep state, decided to drag the Ottomans
into war with the Russians, which played a big part in the collapse of the Ot-
toman Empire.
