HRH Fawzia Farouk says: Mohammed
Ali Pasha, was born in Kavala, an Ottoman Province, which is nowadays
in Greece. He was not an Albanian. King Fouad the Ist ordered a research
on the genealogical tree of the egyptian Royal Family that tends to
establish that Mohammed Ali Pacha
was from Turkish Origins from Konya. As a commander of an albanian
troupe from the Ottoman's army when he arrived in Egypt, In aboukir, he
has been assimilated to albanian in history. He was an officer in the
Ottoman army ... At that time only Turkish could be at this position.
Then he took power in Egypt, and tried to make Egypt the more autonomous
from the Ottoman empire. He launched the modernization and the
centralization of the country building an army, a fleet, schools,
hospitals, reforming agriculture, sciences, building bridges, irrigation
systems, etc He ruled Egypt as his own country. He served Egypt as his
homeland.
As
far as I was taught Mohammed Ali Pasha asked and received from the
Ottoman Sultan the title of Wali, which is the same as Governor and
Vice-Roi. Under his rule the Pashalik was made hereditary in the family.
The first Khedive of Egypt was Ismaïl the Magnificient in 1866 with a
Firman from the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, as a reward for the
extraordinary progress of Egypt (a province of the Empire) under his
Rule. Then, long time after, if i remember well we had our first Sultan
in the name of Sultan Hussein.
Melekper Toussoun says: The family originated in Arabkir, went on to Konya before settling down in Kavala.
