Ahmed-Pasha Khimshiashvili

Ahmed Bey, subsequently Prince Ahmed Paşa (1781 – October 1836) was a Georgian nobleman of the Khimshiashvili princedom and dukedom from Adjara, which he ruled as an autonomous ruler (Beylerbeyi) under the Ottoman Empire after 1818. He played a notable role in the Caucasian theatre of the Russo-Turkish War (1828–29) in which he failed to recapture Akhaltsikhe for the Ottomans, but checked Russian attempts to invade Adjara. Subsequently, Ahmed abandoned his earlier clandestine diplomacy with the Russians and served loyally to the Ottoman government as a commander in Kars and Erzurum. He died fighting the Kurdish insurgents in 1836.
