The property is recorded as belonging to the Sultan Bayezid Waqf among the Mazbut Waqfs (Evkaf-ı Mazbuta). The deed is dated 17 Safer 1325 (1 April 1907) and bears an official seal.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"966\"\u003eThe property is described in the deed as a vineyard, with its area given as 10 dönüms atik and 3 dönüms, 16 evleks and 93 arşun-i cedid. The original owner is recorded as Pehlivan oğlu Kirkor, identified as a subject of the Ottoman state. Following his death, the property passed to his sons Ohannes and Agop and his two daughters. The title deed holder is subsequently recorded as Kirkor, son of Artin Palacı, identified here as Kirkor Palacıyan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003eThe succession and ownership information preserved in the deed provides a valuable glimpse into property transmission within an Armenian family in the Ankara region during the late Ottoman period. The fact that the recorded individuals all bear Armenian names is particularly notable and gives the document an important connection to the Armenian social and property history of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003eİstanos, also known as Zir, was historically an important settlement in the Ankara region with a substantial Armenian population. The property record therefore offers a direct documentary connection between an Armenian family, agricultural land ownership and the wider history of this historic settlement during the final years of the Ottoman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"2157\"\u003eFor collectors and researchers of Ottoman title deeds, Armenian history, Ankara and historical agricultural properties, this is a particularly interesting original document. Its combination of an Armenian family succession, a vineyard property, Ottoman waqf administration and the historical setting of İstanos makes it a compelling surviving record of Armenian property ownership and rural life in the Ankara region in the early twentieth century.\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=\"2174\" data-end=\"2235\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Title: Ottoman Vineyard Title Deed in İstanos (Zir), Ankara\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2289\"\u003e• Document Type: Ottoman Turkish Property Title Deed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2291\" data-end=\"2316\"\u003e• Property Type: Vineyard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2351\"\u003e• Location: İstanos (Zir), Ankara\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2353\" data-end=\"2430\"\u003e• Locality: “Karagöz” (?) — reading uncertain due to Ottoman handwritten text\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2501\"\u003e• Waqf: Sultan Bayezid Waqf, among the Mazbut Waqfs (Evkaf-ı Mazbuta)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2503\" data-end=\"2562\"\u003e• Original Owner: Pehlivan oğlu Kirkor (Kirkor Pehlivanyan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2564\" data-end=\"2670\"\u003e• Inheritance: Following his death, the property passed to his sons Ohannes and Agop and his two daughters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2672\" data-end=\"2739\"\u003e• Title Deed Holder: Kirkor, son of Artin Palacı (Kirkor Palacıyan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2741\" data-end=\"2814\"\u003e• Property Area: 10 dönüms atik; 3 dönüms, 16 evleks and 93 arşun-i cedid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2816\" data-end=\"2852\"\u003e• Date: 17 Safer 1325 (1 April 1907)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2854\" data-end=\"2925\"\u003e• Names: Armenian names throughout the ownership and inheritance record\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2927\" data-end=\"2956\"\u003e• Seal: Official seal present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2958\" data-end=\"3081\"\u003e• Historical Context: Armenian property ownership and agricultural life in the Ankara region during the late Ottoman period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3083\" data-end=\"3231\"\u003e• Historical Significance: Documents the ownership, inheritance and transfer of a vineyard belonging to an Armenian family in historic İstanos (Zir)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3233\" data-end=\"3448\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: An original Ottoman property document of particular interest to collectors and researchers of Armenian history, Ankara history, Ottoman land records and historical agricultural properties\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50315632214154,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_008ef739-67ff-497d-9965-6eee31a80af6.jpg?v=1790617558","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ottoman-1909-land-deed-vineyard-in-ankara-title-armenian-citizens-armenia","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
