About Dragoman of the Porte
The Dragoman of the Sublime Porte, Dragoman of the Imperial Council, or simply Grand Dragoman or Chief Dragoman, was the senior interpreter of the Ottoman government—frequently referred to as the "Sublime Porte"—and de facto deputy foreign minister. From the position's inception in 1661 until the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the office was occupied by Phanariotes, and was one of the main pillars of Phanariote power in the Ottoman Empire.
