Canada Returns 11 Artefacts to Turkey, Setting International Precedent
Canada has returned 11 artefacts to Turkey, marking the first official repatriation of cultural property between the two countries. The artefacts, which include Ottoman-era manuscripts and calligraphy works, were returned following a Canadian federal court ruling. The repatriation process was initiated by the Canada Border Services Agency and involved collaboration with Turkish cultural institutions. The artefacts were intercepted while being transported from Istanbul to Vancouver, leading to legal proceedings that confirmed their status as Turkish cultural property.
