The property is identified as belonging to Kevork Şaşıyan (Şaşıoğlu), a member of the Armenian Catholic community, and is recorded with a total area of 150 zira-i atik. The document is dated 26 September 1317 (9 October 1901).\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"811\"\u003eAccording to the deed, Kevork Şaşıyan sold the house to his brother Osil, son of Peter, for 9,000 kuruş. The boundary section of the document contains Armenian names, providing additional evidence of the Armenian presence within the neighbourhood and its surrounding properties. The document also bears Armenian signatures, alongside Ottoman stamps and an official seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"1243\"\u003eKethüda District was one of the historic neighbourhoods of Ankara where non-Muslim communities, particularly the Armenian community, owned property and participated in the city's commercial and urban life during the Ottoman period. This deed provides a direct documentary record of Armenian property ownership in Ankara and offers valuable evidence for studying the residential and social history of the city's Armenian community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eThe combination of the property's Armenian Catholic ownership, Armenian names appearing among the neighbouring properties, Armenian signatures and the formal Ottoman title-deed record makes this document an especially significant primary source for the history of Ankara's Armenian population within the Ottoman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1953\"\u003eFor collectors of Ottoman documents, Armenian history, Ankara history and historical property records, this is a particularly compelling survivor. Dating from 1901, it connects a specific house, its Armenian Catholic owner and a documented family transfer with the wider history of Ankara's Armenian community, making it a valuable piece of Ottoman social, residential and legal history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2031\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Title: Ottoman House Title Deed in Kethüda District, Ankara\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2033\" data-end=\"2085\"\u003e• Document Type: Ottoman Turkish Property Title Deed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2087\" data-end=\"2109\"\u003e• Property Type: House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2111\" data-end=\"2147\"\u003e• Location: Kethüda District, Ankara\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2183\"\u003e• Owner: Kevork Şaşıyan (Şaşıoğlu)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2215\"\u003e• Community: Armenian Catholic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2244\"\u003e• Buyer: Osil, son of Peter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2246\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003e• Relationship: Brother of the seller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2310\"\u003e• Sale Price: 9,000 kuruş\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2344\"\u003e• Property Size: 150 zira-i atik\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2388\"\u003e• Date: 26 September 1317 (9 October 1901)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2390\" data-end=\"2490\"\u003e• Boundary Information: Armenian names appear among the neighbouring properties recorded in the deed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2533\"\u003e• Signatures: Armenian signatures present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2535\" data-end=\"2591\"\u003e• Stamps \u0026amp; Seal: Ottoman stamp and official seal present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"2727\"\u003e• Historical Significance: A primary documentary source relating to Armenian property ownership and residential life in Ottoman Ankara\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2898\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: Of particular interest to collectors and researchers of Ottoman property records, Armenian history, Ankara history and Ottoman social history\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50315550326922,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_a567d506-9330-4b86-af1a-96ad919d01d0.jpg?v=1790615176","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ottoman-1901-land-deed-house-in-ankara-title-armenian-citizens-armenia","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
