Three-years hajj ??

[edit]

It reads:"After he was declared sultan, Ahmet III went on the hajj and did not return home to Istanbul until 1706." Three years in hajj during the turmoil ? Although the statement is sourced I couldn't find a second source to back the claim. On the contrary, the sources focus on Ahmet's efforts to passivize the jannisarries. This claim needs to be checked. I'll call the editor. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 09:57, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
