Text and language scope
The original signing clause identifies German, Turkish and English as authentic. Only German and English are supplied; the authentic Turkish version is NOT included. The clause gives English precedence in divergent interpretation of the German and Turkish texts. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-turkey-2012-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence. Signed 2011-09-19; consent law 2012-05-24; Gazette publication 2012-05-30; treaty entry into force UNRESOLVED in pinned audit (retained official-article audit evidence); general application from 2011-01-01 (roster, not universal tax-specific start). Encoding-recovery method: only independently evidenced source font code00 /space Unicode mappings U+0007 to U+0020 changed in a separately hashed derivative. CFF blank glyphs, 278-unit advances, unchanged decoded page content streams and 22/22 identical page renders evidence this mapping. Word regrouping is logged; every nonspace character is conserved in sequence within its physical source line. No generated treaty wording and no OCR.
