The same Suliman ...?

It has entered army in 1854 Has ended military college in Istanbul (1861). Participated in suppression of revolts in Montenegro (1862) and on Crete (1867). In 1867 - the major, with 1873 colonel.

Or another...? In 1848 has entered into Bucharest.

Oh, SOLIMANs in Turkey many people ...
Of course not all "AGHA", but many ...

In my understanding, Agha in the Ottoman Empire was just a polite title, applied to pretty much every Muslim man of some age, not dissimilar to how we use "sir" nowadays. Most towns and villages probably had a Suliman Agha.

My posts - this is a joke, a fantasy. To kill time until Zifir.

you are correct Teodor
it's what happens in Egypt in nowadays, for instance
when we want to honor some one,
we give him the title of "Pacha" or "Bey"

now the question might be ; in XIX century,
what have been the habits into the Turkish civilian life ??

might be no "joke" with title the matter was too serious & sensitive ??
