SUMMARY

This summary should be read as an introduction to the prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. Any decision to invest in the notes by an investor should be based on consideration of the
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus as a whole. Where a claim relating to the
information contained in the prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is brought before a
court in a Member State of the European Economic Area, the plaintiff may, under the national legislation of
the Member State where the claim is brought, be required to bear the costs of translating the prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated.

Issuer
The Republic of Turkey.

The Republic of Turkey is located in southwestern Asia, where it
borders Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq and Syria, and

814,578 square kilometers. Turkey's population, as of December
2008, was estimated to be 71,517,100.

The Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923 and currently has a
parliamentary form of government. It has recently undertaken many
reforms to strengthen its democracy and economy, in connection
with its accession negotiations with the European Union.

Upon issuance, the notes will be our direct unconditional and
general obligations and will rank equally with our other external
debt denominated in currencies other than Turkish Lira which is
(i) payable to a person or entity not resident in Turkey and (ii) not
owing to a Turkish citizen. See "Debt Securities -- Status of the
Debt Securities" and "Debt Securities -- Negative Pledge" in the
accompanying prospectus.

Markets
The notes are offered for sale in those jurisdictions where it is legal
to make such offers. See "Underwriting".

notes on the Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg" of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

nominees in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

Clearance and Settlement Beneficial
interests
in the notes will be shown on, and transfer
thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC
and its participants, unless certain contingencies occur, in which
case the notes will be issued in definitive form. Investors may elect
to hold interests in the notes through DTC, Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking Luxembourg,
société anonyme ("Clearstream Banking Luxembourg"), if they are
participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that
are participants in such systems. See "Global Clearance and
Settlement".

Payment of Principal and Interest
Principal and interest on the notes will be payable in U.S. dollars or
other legal tender of the United States of America. As long as the
notes are in the form of a book-entry security, payments of principal
and interest to investors shall be made through the facilities of DTC.
See "Description of the Notes -- Payments of Principal and Interest"
and "Global Clearance and Settlement -- Ownership of Notes
through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Banking Luxembourg".

Default
The notes will contain events of default, the occurrence of which
may result in the acceleration of our obligations under the notes
prior to maturity. See "Debt Securities -- Default" and "--
Acceleration of Maturity" in the accompanying prospectus.

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 Mellon
(successor-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, the Republic 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 "-- Amendments and Waivers" in this prospectus
supplement and "Collective Action Securities" in the accompanying
prospectus.

Use of Proceeds
The Republic 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) is
$1,971,100,000.

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 may 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) 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 7) there may be certain legal restraints in
relation to investment in the notes with regard to the particular
circumstances of any investor.

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) potential inflation risks; 5) risks
associated with Turkey's current account deficit; 6) risks associated
with the foreign exchange rate of the Republic's currency; 7) Turkey
is a foreign sovereign state and accordingly it may be difficult to
obtain or enforce judgments against it; 8) 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; 9) risks
associated with pending arbitration proceedings; and 10) risks
associated with external shocks.

These risk factors are described in the section entitled "Risk Factors"
of this prospectus supplement.

Fiscal Agency Agreement
The notes will be issued pursuant to the fiscal agency agreement.

Taxation
For a discussion of United States, Turkish and Luxembourg tax
consequences associated with the notes, see "Taxation" in this
prospectus supplement. Investors should consult their own tax
advisors in determining the foreign, U.S. federal, state, local and any
other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and
disposition of the notes.

Governing Law
The notes will be governed by the laws of the State of New York,
except with respect to the authorization and execution of the notes,
which will be governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey.
