Excerpt from Foreigners in Turkey, Their Juridical Status
The rights and privileges of foreigners in Turkey are extensive and anomalous in character.
Under the extraordinary regime of the Capitulations the Turks have retained but few of the rights of territorial sovereignty in respect to jurisdiction over resident foreigners.
The result of this condition of affairs has been an attitude of irritating superiority on the part of the privileged foreigner; a corresponding resentful hostility on the part of the humiliated Turk; and incessant diplomatic controversies of a most trying nature.
When an official in the American Embassy to Turkey the writer came to realize the general need of a clearer understanding in regard to the exact rights of foreigners as distinguished from their privileges and, in some instances, from their undue pretensions. This understanding seemed necessary quite as much for the purpose of doing justice to the sovereign rights of Turkey as for the purpose of protecting the just rights of foreigners.
To discover the precise juridical bases of these rights was not an easy task because of the fact that the sources of information were scattered, incomplete, and required considerable comparative study.
