Ahmed Resmi Efendi

Ahmed Resmî Efendi, also called by some Arabic sources as Ahmed bin İbrahim Giridî, was an Ottoman Greek statesman, diplomat and author of the late 18th century. In international relations terms, his most important – and unfortunate – task was to act as the chief of the Ottoman delegation during the negotiations and the signature of the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca. In the literary domain, he is remembered for various works among which his sefâretnâme recounting his embassies in Berlin and Vienna occupy a prominent place. He was Turkey's first ever ambassador in Berlin.
