PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
Collective Action Securities
The notes will be designated Collective Action Securities under
the Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of December 15, 1998,
between the Republic and The Bank of New York (succesor-in-
interest to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of
September 17, 2003, and Amendment No. 2 to the Fiscal Agency
Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2004 (collectively, the "Fiscal
Agency Agreement"). The notes will contain provisions
regarding acceleration and voting on amendments,
modifications, changes and waivers that differ from those
applicable to certain other series of U.S. dollar denominated debt
securities issued by the Republic and described in the
accompanying prospectus. The provisions described in this
prospectus supplement will govern the notes. These provisions
are commonly referred to as "collective action clauses." Under
these provisions, we may amend certain key terms of the notes,
including the maturity date, interest rate and other payment
terms, with the consent of the holders of not less than 75% of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes.
Additionally, if an event of default has occurred and is
continuing, the notes may be declared to be due and payable
immediately by holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding notes. These provisions are
described in the sections entitled "Description of the Notes --
Default; Acceleration of Maturity" and

prospectus.

Sinking Fund
None.

Prescription Period
None.

Use of Proceeds
We will use the net proceeds of the sale of the notes for general
financing purposes, which may include the repayment of debt.
The amount of net proceeds (before expenses and exclusive of

Risk Factors
Risks associated with the notes generally include: 1) the trading
market for debt securities may be volatile and may be adversely
impacted by many events; 2) there could be no active trading
market for the notes; 3) the notes may not be a suitable
investment for all investors; 4) the notes are unsecured; 5) the
terms of the notes may be modified, waived or substituted
without the consent of all of the holders; 6) Turkey is a foreign
sovereign state and accordingly it may be difficult to obtain or
enforce judgments against it; 7) there can be no assurance that
the laws of the State of New York in effect as at the date of this
prospectus supplement will not be modified; and 8) there may be
certain legal restraints in relation to investment in the notes with
regard to your particular circumstances.

Risks associated with the Republic generally include: 1) there
can be no assurance that Turkey's credit ratings will not change;
2) changes in the Republic's domestic and international political
and economic environment may have a negative effect on its
financial condition; 3) the risks arising from the relatively short
maturity structure of domestic borrowing and the potential
deterioration in financing conditions as a result of market,
economic and political factors, which may be outside the
Republic's control, may jeopardize the debt dynamics of the
Republic; 4) there are potential inflation risks; 5) there are risks
associated with Turkey's current account deficit; 6) there are
risks associated with the foreign exchange rate of the Republic's
currency; and 7) there are risks associated with delays or other
adverse developments in the Republic's accession to the
European Union which may have a negative impact on the
Republic's economic performance and credit ratings.
