Dear Prometheus Unbound, 

The title of "Prime Minister" exists only in modern Turkey and only
after 1921. Before that, during the Ottoman era, the equivalent
position was titled "Grand Vezir". Here is a list of the Grand Vezirs
of the Ottoman Era between 1914-1920:

12 Jun 1913 -  3 Feb 1917  Said Halim Pasha                   (b. 1863 - d. 1921) 
 4 Feb 1917 -  8 Oct 1918  Mehmed Talat Pasha                 (b. 1874 - d. 1921) 
14 Oct 1918 -  8 Nov 1918  Ahmed Izzet Pasha                  (b. 1864 - d. 1937) 
11 Nov 1918 - 10 Mar 1919  Ahmed Tevfik Pasha (2nd time)      (s.a.) 
10 Mar 1919 -  4 Oct 1919  Damad Adil Ferid Pasha (1st time)  (b. 1854 - d. 1923) 
 6 Oct 1919 -  2 Mar 1920  Ali Riza Pasha                     (b. 1859 - d. 1932) 
 8 Mar 1920 -  2 Apr 1920  Salih Pasha                        (b. 1864 - d. 1939) 
 5 Apr 1920 - 18 Oct 1920  Damad Adil Ferid Pasha (2nd time)  (s.a.) 
21 Oct 1920 - 17 Nov 1922  Ahmed Tevfik Pasha (3rd time)      (s.a.)

(SOURCE: World Statesmen, Turkey, <http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Turkey.html>). 

The site World Statesmen also notes, that between 1913 and 1918, there
had been a military dictatorship de-facto. Therefore, the names of the
Grand Vezirs carry less importance.
