citizen. See "Debt Securities -- Status of the Debt Securities" and "Debt
Securities -- Negative Pledge" in the accompanying prospectus.

make such offers. See "Underwriting".

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

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".

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

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 of

principal amount of the outstanding notes of the series, voting as a single
class. 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.

Table of Contents

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.
