[edit] Birthplace

The Swedish Wikipedia says that he was born in Zagra, while the Turkish one say that he was born in Çırpan, a small mountain town in northern Anatolia. Zagra could be either of two towns, one in Muğla Province at 37°21′N, 28°35′E, and the other in Şanlıurfa Province in southern Anatolia near the Euphrates at 37°10′N, 37°59′E. The Turkish Wikipedia even gives him the cognomen "Çırpanlı" see Çırpanlı Abdülkerim Nadir Paşa. Bejnar 23:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Probably not. German Wikipedia gives Stara Zagora (in Turkish Eski Zağra). Çırpan should be Chirpan a smaller town nearby. --Nk 13:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with identification of Çırpan with Chirpan, and that does explain the Swedish reference. --Bejnar 18:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
