You all already know my answer...
Would you have also supported the suppression of the April uprising which ultimately led to the war? Or do you just object to Russia invading the Ottoman Empire?
Assuming I was the Grand Vizier or something, I, admittedly, would've been inclined to suppress it on the principle of keeping peace and order. However, I believe that negotiating with the leaders of the uprising in allowing more rights and freedoms would've been the best course of action. No part in due to a commitment to the broader implementation of the Tanzimat reforms and the concept of Ottomanism instead of brutally suppressing it with the
