He was in Manastir City, joined to Jalvatiyya order, and then joined to Ittihad ve Terakki Party (Committee Union and Progress) in secret (1906). He was the leader of Hâlaskâr Zâbitân (Saviour officers -Ottoman Turkish: Halâskâr Zâbitân-) was the name of a secret organization during the dissolution era of the Ottoman Empire), during the Bab-i Âlî raid in 1912, but it was failed.

Therefore he was got into '150 personae non-gratae of Turkey'. After the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923), the newly established Republic of Turkey presented a list of 600 names to the Conference of Lausanne, which were to be declared personae non-gratae. Later, a list comprising only 150 of these, put into effect by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey on April 23, 1924 (revised on June 1, 1924), was included in the Treaty of Lausanne. The list (known as Yüzellilikler in Turkish, literally, Hundredandfiftyers), which is a who's who of the Ottoman Empire, had the purpose of eliminating the ruling elite of Ottomans from the Republic. The list is famous as it became the center of discussions of the nature of the new Republic: mainly, whether the Republic was to remain a continuation of the old Empire or not. The list has served as proof that the administration and ideologists of the Empire were not transferred to the Republic. The formation of this list is also related to studies analyzing the jurisdictional conflict between the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. These powers were fighting each other for their existence, as they were both active (using diplomatic and military means) until the Conference of Lausanne On June 28, 1938, the law restricting the entry of these people into Turkey was lifted, with the return of only a few on the list.
