History

7 Armenians filed a lawsuit in 1986, claiming that the villagers seized their villages, which they had left because of terrorism. The villagers of Heybeli, Balbaşı and Çağıl, who claimed that they bought the village from the Armenians, argued that their old owners wanted to regain the village after 26 years. Acar village headman, Mehmet Sirin Ekmek, said that they had the bills that they had bought the village. 17 Armenians who left the village of Acar, where they lived before, in 1986, filed a lawsuit against the Sason Cadastral Court to take back what their villagers had seized. The court gave time to both Armenians and villagers who claimed to have bought the village until 4 May to present the evidence we bought. Stating that a group of villagers living in the villages of Heybeli, Balbaşı and Çağıl have purchased 300 thousand parcels in the village of Acar, Acar village headman Mehmet Şirin Ekmen said: "At that time, 70 shares were bought from the prominent and village owner, Armenian Isa Demirci. We have papers related to this sale. We will present them to the court. We will also show the village headmen who witnessed the sale at the court."'We leaved due to terrorism, peasantry owned"17 Armenians who filed a lawsuit against the Sason Cadastre Court said in their petitions, "We left the village in 1986 due to terrorist incidents in the region. Later, some villagers claimed Acar Village. Ahmet Erkul, who was the lawyer of the villagers, noted that the villagers who bought the village had sales vouchers in their hands and said, "Sales vouchers are valid because the lands in question are not registered in the land registry."[2]
