(to Prospectus, dated August 10, 2006)

File No. 333-133956

THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY
U.S. $ 1,500,000,000
7% Notes due 2016
The 7% Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") will be direct, unconditional and general obligations of the Republic. The
2016 Notes will mature on September 26, 2016. The Republic will pay interest on the 2016 Notes in U.S. dollars on
March 26 and September 26 of each year, commencing March 26, 2007.
The 2016 Notes are being issued pursuant to the recently concluded offering for cash of 2016 Notes (the "cash
offering") and invitation of the Republic (the "invitation", and together with the "cash offering," the "global note
offering") to the owners of 11.375% Notes due 2006, 10% Notes due 2007, 10.5% Notes due 2008, 9.875% Notes due
2008, 12% Notes due 2008, 12.375% Notes due 2009 and 11.75% Notes due 2010 (the "old notes"), to submit offers to
exchange old notes for 2016 Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement
dated September 6, 2006 and the accompanying prospectus. See "The Global Note Offering -- Results of the Global
Note Offering" in this prospectus supplement for a summary of the results of the global note offering.
The 2016 Notes will contain provisions regarding acceleration and future modifications to their terms that differ from
those applicable to much of The Republic of Turkey's outstanding public external indebtedness, including the old
notes. Under these provisions, which are described in the sections entitled "Description of the 2016 Notes -- Default;
Acceleration of Maturity" and "-- Amendments and Waivers" in this prospectus supplement and "Collective Action
Securities" in the accompanying prospectus, The Republic of Turkey may amend the payment provisions of the 2016
Notes and certain other terms with the consent of the holders of not less than 75% of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2016 Notes.
Application has been made to list and trade the 2016 Notes on the Regulated Market "Marché Officiel" of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange which is a regulated market for the purpose of Directive 95/22/EC (the Investment
Services Directive).
The 2016 Notes will be ready for delivery in book-entry form only through the facilities of the Depository Trust
Company, or DTC, on or about September 26, 2006.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body in the United States has
approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Risk Factors
The global note offering is subject to certain risks:

· Risks associated with the 2016 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 2016 Notes; 3) the 2016 Notes may not be a
suitable investment for all investors; 4) the 2016 Notes are unsecured; 5) the terms of
the 2016 Notes may be modified, waived or substituted without the consent of all of
the holders; 6) the Republic 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
New York law 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
2016 Notes with regard to your particular circumstances.

· Risks associated with the Republic generally include: 1) there can be no assurance that
the Republic's credit rating will not change; 2) changes in the Republic's domestic
and international political and economic environment may have an adverse 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 the foreign exchange rate of the
Republic's currency; and 6) there are risks associated with the potential delay in the
Republic's accession to the European Union which may have a negative impact on the
Republic's economic performance and credit ratings.
