Albanian origin?

He was adopted into the Albanian Köprülü family, but being a native of Merzion, it's unlikely his birth parents were Albanian. I believe sources are confused about this. --Mttll (talk) 13:05, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Turkish Wiki Article

The turkish version of this article is vastly more detailed. Maybe someone shoud look into translating it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.200.55.217 (talk) 14:14, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Clarification

This article makes it appear as if Kara Mustafa was executed due to his loss at the Siege of Vienna. However, I believe that Mehmet IV actually chose to order the Grand Vizier's death after he lost the city of Párkány (today known as Štúrovo) to the Christian coalition at the October 1683 Battle of Parkany. Could someone verify this and, if true, edit the article accordingly? York12321 (talk) 00:40, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Its hard to believe that mustafa kara pasha was of albanian origin since his birth place town is merzifon located almost in central anatolia/turkey 2nd issue is that his name clearly shows a turkish identity there is a general tendency in turkish culture to name people after there look and hight and so. kara means black in turkish This and his birthplace strongly support that he was infact of turkish origin therefore such a important historical figures Identity should be respected and changed from albanian to turkish/turkic Bekir321 (talk) 15:20, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Mustafa the courageous?

I'd like sources about the meaning of the nickname. to the best of my knowledge, in Turkish, until recently, 'kara' meant black. while the color word has changed in modern turkish, many traces of it can be found in historical names, and even still current geographical names, such as the turkish name for the black sea : karadeniz.
