I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who was the reformist that had the backing of Ottoman admirals during the Russo-Turkish war?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Sultan Abdülhamid II distrusted the admirals who sided with the reformist Midhat Pasha, and claimed that the large and expensive fleet was of no use against the Russians during the Russo-Turkish War.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
