Ottoman Title Deed - Armutak Village, Divriği, Sivas 1915

Description

This original Ottoman title deed is dated 23 Rebiül Ahir 1333 (10 March 1915) and relates to agricultural land located in Armutak Village, within the Divriği district of Sivas. Armutak is historically known as an Armenian village, and the document clearly reflects this through the names recorded within the text.

The deed records ownership shares of the land, specifying a 3/8 portion, with the total area measured as 1 dönüm atik, 9 evlek, and 19 arşun-u cedid. The document was issued in accordance with earlier imperial land records (Senedi Hakani) and official confirmations from both the village administration and the tax office, indicating a formally registered and legally recognized transfer.

All personal names mentioned in the deed are Armenian, including both previous and current stakeholders, providing strong evidence of the village’s fully Armenian demographic structure at the time. The reverse side contains handwritten Armenian text, while the front features original Ottoman stamps and seals, making this a highly desirable and collectible archival document.
