EXHIBIT 99.2


 

LEGAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE LAW SUIT ON INTERNATIONAL VOICE TRAFFIC

 

Subject: Statement made pursuant to Circular VIII, No: 54 of the Capital Markets Board.

Istanbul Stock Exchange

 

Special Subjects:

The media news about the court case initiated by Turk Telekom due to international interconnection agreement for carrying the voice traffic through Milleni.com GMbH, is being evaluated by our Company. The international interconnection agreement signed between our Company and Milleni.com GMbH for carrying voice traffic has been signed with the permission and the approval of the Ministry of Transportation and Information and Communication Technologies Authority (formerly known as Telecommunications Authority). Accordingly, the aforementioned agreement and the commercial activities conducted with this regard is legal; thus this court decision is not fair and in contradiction with the law and the practice. We are confident and maintain our view that this case has no legal basis. We, therefore, will appeal this decision once we receive the court decision.

As we have stated in our notes to our previous financial statements; following two expertise reports and taking into consideration the developments in the related case; a provision totaling to a nominal amount of TRY 122.3 million, including TRY44.9 million in principal and accrued interest in TRY 77.4 million has been provisioned in our consolidated financial statements dated June 30, 2009 despite the fact that Management believes the aforementioned court case has no legal basis. We are not planning to set aside any additional provisions in addition to that in our financial statements.
