“Turkey owns 30,000 dunams [1] of land in Jerusalem:

After the United States’ decision recognizing Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and its intent on moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Ottoman land archives reveal documents showing Turkey owns 30,000 dunams of land in Occupied Jerusalem.

According to records belonging to Sultan Abdul Hamid II [2], two properties in Occupied Jerusalem with a combined area of 30,000 dunams had been acquired by the late Sultan.

The Ottoman archives contain all documents pertaining to land ownership in the city of Jerusalem between the years 1516 and 1917; the Ottoman Empire [3] recorded all events that had occurred in Jerusalem, and all property transfers were recorded in individual records.”
