Ahmet Anzavur (1885-15 April 1921) was a gendarme officer in the Ottoman Empire. He was of Circassian descent and served as major during World War I and became a guerrilla leader in Anatolia who coordinated what is known as Revolt of Ahmet Anzavur during Turkish War of Independence. During the Turkish War of Independence he was motivated by British secret service and Ottoman Empire higher-ups to revolt against Mustafa Kemal Pasha and Turkish revolutionaries.
