[1] Ottoman sultan Mehmet IV ("the Hunter") was inattentive to state affairs, especially in the war.
The soldiers as well as the other subjects of the empire accused him as well as grand vizier Sarı Süleyman Pasha of the failures in the war.
In 1687, the army returned from the front and staged a coup in which both the sultan and the grand vizier were forced to abdicate and resign, respectively.
Siyavuş became the new grand vizier on 18 September, and Süleyman II became the new sultan on 8 November.
But the treasury was unable to make the payment and the soldiers caused unrest in the city.
