Line 5:
Born to the Cilician ''ajjân'' [[Hakan Ali Pascha]], he became a national literary figure through publication of works such as ''Arnavutlarun nihaï ers'' (1928) and soon was elected a representative of the Islamic millet through the National Virtues Party. He would fight in the [[Great War]], attaining the rank of ''müschir'' (marshal), briefly serving as grand vizier shortly thereafter. Batu Hakansade's marriage to Ottoman princess [[Mahibum Sultan]] in 1945 solidified his position in society and allowed him to amass resources and influence. During the [[Ottoman Civil War]], Hakansade became the leader and foremost personality of the eponymous Batu coalition, which would eventually achieve victory in 1967. Thereafter, Hakansade would serve as grand vizier for a second time until his retirement from public life in 1981.
 
Today, he is revered as a unifying yet bombastic figure who drew many parallels to the [[France|French]] [[Fulgence Morel]]. In 1984, he was accused of illegally smuggling weapons from [[Poland|national republican Poland]] thrice during the 1959–1965 period, a case which ultimately did not proceed due to a timely pardon delivered by [[Bejasid VSeyfeddin|Emperor Bejasid VSeyfeddin]]. This incident was seen as contrary to his beliefs and policies, drawing much scrutiny until his cancer-related death in 1988.
