The Republic of Turkey (the "Republic" or "Turkey") is offering 1,250,000,000 principal amount of its 4.625% Notes due March
31, 2025 (the "notes"). The notes will constitute direct, general and unconditional obligations of the Republic. The full faith and credit
of the Republic will be pledged for the due and punctual payment of all principal and interest on the notes. The Republic will pay interest
on March 31 of each year, commencing with a short first coupon payable on March 31, 2019.

This prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus dated November 1, 2017, constitute a prospectus for the purposes of
Article 5.3 of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive").

Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the
"CSSF"), as competent authority under the Prospectus Directive, to approve this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus dated November 1, 2017 as a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive. Application is being made to list on
the Official List and trade the notes on the Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg" of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is a
regulated market for the purposes of the Market in Financial Instruments Directive (2014/65/EU), as amended ("MiFiD II"). The CSSF
assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the transaction and the quality or solvency of the Republic in
line with the provisions of Article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law.

See the section entitled "Risk Factors" for a discussion of certain factors you should consider before investing in the notes.

The notes will be designated collective action securities and will, therefore, contain "collective action clauses". Under these provisions,
which are described beginning on page 14 of the accompanying prospectus dated November 1, 2017, the Republic may amend the
payment provisions of the notes and other "reserved matters" listed in the fiscal agency agreement with the consent of the holders of:
(1) with respect to a single series of notes, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series; (2)

principal amount of the outstanding notes of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect
to two or more series of notes, more than 66% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of all series affected by the
proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of each
series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually. "Reserved matters" include, among other things, changes in the dates
on which any amounts are payable on the debt securities, reductions in principal amounts or interest rates on the debt securities, a change
in the currency of the debt securities, any change in the identity of the obligor under the debt securities, or a change in the status of the

may affect the value of the notes; 9) risks associated with a foreign currency; 10)

RISK FACTORS
You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully. Words and expressions defined
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have the same meanings in this section. Investing in the
notes involves certain risks. In addition, the purchase of the notes may involve substantial risks and be suitable only for investors who
have the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to enable them to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment
in the notes. You should make your own inquiries as you deem necessary without relying on the Republic or any underwriter and should
consult with your financial, tax, legal, accounting and other advisers, prior to deciding whether to make an investment in the notes. You
should consider, among other things, the following:

Risks Relating to the Notes
The trading market for the notes may be volatile and may be adversely impacted by many events.
The market for the notes is expected to be influenced by economic, political, social and market conditions and, to varying degrees,
interest rates, currency exchange rates and inflation rates in the United States and Europe and other countries. There can be no assurance
that events in Turkey, the United States, Europe or elsewhere will not cause market volatility or that such volatility will not adversely
affect the price of the notes or that economic, political, social and market conditions will not have any other adverse effect.
There may be no active trading market for the notes.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the notes will develop, or, if one does develop, that it will be
maintained. If an active trading market for the notes does not develop or is not maintained, the market or trading price and liquidity of
the notes may be adversely affected. If the notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to their initial offering
price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and the financial condition
of the Republic. Although an application will be made to list on the Official List and trade the notes on the Regulated Market "Bourse
de Luxembourg" of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, there is no assurance that such application will be accepted or that an active
trading market will develop.
The notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors.
You must determine the suitability of investment in the notes in the light of your own circumstances. In particular, you should:
(i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the notes and the merits and risks of
investing in the notes;
(ii) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of your particular financial
situation, an investment in the notes and the impact the notes will have on your overall investment portfolio;
(iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the notes, including where
the currency for principal or interest payments is different from your currency;
(iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial
markets; and
(v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate
and other factors that may affect your investment and your ability to bear the applicable risks.

The notes are unsecured.


S-9


The notes constitute unsecured obligations of the Republic.
The notes contain provisions that permit the Republic to amend the payment terms without the consent of all holders.
The notes contain provisions regarding acceleration and voting on amendments, modifications, changes and waivers, which are
commonly referred to as "collective action clauses". Under these provisions, certain key provisions of the notes may be amended,
including the maturity date, interest rate and other payment terms, with the consent of the holders of 75% of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding notes. See "Description of the Notes -- Default; Acceleration of Maturity" and "-- Amendments and
Waivers" in this prospectus supplement and "Debt Securities -- Collective Action Securities Issued On or After January 1, 2015" in the
accompanying prospectus.
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.
The conditions of the notes are based on the laws of the State of New York in effect as at the date of this prospectus supplement.
No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to New York law or administrative practice after
the date of this prospectus supplement.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments.
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by
certain authorities. Prospective investors should consult their legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent: (1) the notes are
legal investments for such prospective investors; (2) the notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing; and (3) other
restrictions apply to their purchase or pledge of any notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate
regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of notes under any applicable risk based capital or similar rules.
Fluctuations in interest rates of the currency in which the notes are denominated may affect the market value of the notes.
Investors in the notes should be aware that an investment in the notes may involve an interest rate risk insofar as there may be
fluctuations in the interest rates of the currency of denomination of the notes. Fluctuations in interest rates of the currency in which the
notes are denominated may affect the market value of the notes. Such fluctuations might have a materially adverse impact both on the
liquidity of an investment in the notes and on the performance of an investment in the notes.
Foreign Currency Risks
An investment in a security denominated in a currency other than the currency of the country in which a holder of notes is resident
or the currency in which the holder conducts its business or activities may present currency-related risks not associated with a similar
investment in a security denominated in the home currency. Such risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant changes
in rates of exchange between the home currency and the euro and the possibility of the imposition or modification of foreign exchange
controls with respect to the euro and the home currency, and depend on events over which the Republic has no control, such as economic
and political events and the supply and demand for the euro and the home currency.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates between two currencies result from the interaction over time of many factors directly
or indirectly affecting economic and political conditions in the countries issuing such currencies, and economic and political
developments globally. Foreign currency exchange rates may be affected by, among other factors, existing and expected rates of
inflation, existing and expected interest rate levels, the balance of payments between countries and the extent of governmental surpluses
or deficits in various countries. All of these factors are, in turn, sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the
governments of various countries important to international trade and finance. In recent years, rates of exchange for certain currencies
have been highly volatile and such volatility may be expected to continue in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that
have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative, however, of fluctuations in such rate that may occur during the term of the notes.
Depreciation of the euro against the relevant home currency could result in a decrease in the effective yield of a particular security
below its coupon rate and, in certain circumstances, could result in a loss to the investor on a home currency basis.
