The Secretariat of the Capital had expropriated the property, Land Registry sequence 1/ 3 / 294 located in the Jadid Hassan Pasha district,

Accordingly, this expropriation transaction is not subject to the provisions of income tax; we request you kindly exempt it.

The properties sequence Kolat 321, 322, 323, 324, 319, 2/276, and 267 or
272, 20/326, and 979 were within the cemetery of the Mosaic Community in Baghdad until 40 years ago.
Since the origins of the cemetery are an endowment (waqf), we request you inform us whether these properties have become an endowment within the
mentioned cemetery, given the lack of communication from their owners regarding their disposal throughout this period, even from
their heirs, noting that these properties are still registered in the Turkish records in the names of their previous owners
who left them, along with their heirs, to the mentioned cemetery. Therefore, we request your kind approval to consider these properties
an endowment belonging to the mentioned cemetery and to register them in the name of the Mosaic Community.
