Suleiman Pasha was the chief commander of Turkish military operations in the Balkan Peninsula during the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-78. His incompetent command is considered to have been one of the main reasons for the Turkish defeat. After that war he was sent into exile by the Turkish authorities.

During the war of 1877–1878, he took over the leadership of troops who had been led by Mehmet Ali (a Prussian by birth).
