Unknown Ottoman Short Sword?

Hello,

While visiting the National Military Museum in Bucharest, Romania, I came upon this strange weapon. The picture was lost among the many I took and I've just found it again. I don't recall what was written about it, but it was really vague, much as the yataghan next to it was captioned as "Ottoman yataghan"
The handle is ivory I think, and it's quite simple. It actually reminds me of some Persian work.
Any ideas what it might be?

Regards,
Emanuel
