ART. IV. Foreigners have the privilege to dispose, by donation or by
testament, of that real estate of which such disposition is permitted
by law.
As to that real estate of which they may not have disposed or of which
the law does not permit them to dispose by gift or testament, its
succession shall be governed in accordance with Ottoman law.
ART. V. All foreigners shall enjoy the privileges of the present law as
soon as the powers on which they depend shall agree to the arrangements
proposed by the Sublime Porte for the exercise of the right to hold real
estate.
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States of America, have caused the said protocol and law to be
made public for the information and guidance of citizens of the United
States.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
