                   Plaintiff, by his attorneys, for his Class Action complaint, alleges:

                                              NATURE OF THE ACTION

                   1.  This is a securities class action on behalf of purchasers of the ADSs of

Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetler, A.S. ("Turkcell" or the "Company") in an initial public offering

(the "Offering") by Turkcell made pursuant to a registration statement ("Registration

Statement") and prospectus ("Prospectus") declared effective July 10, 2000 by the Securities

and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  The Offering was for 96,000,000 American Depository

shares ("ADS") of Turkcell (each ADS representing 250 ordinary shares) at $17.60 per ADS.

                   2.  The Registration Statement and Prospectus were materially false and

misleading because they misrepresented the "churn" rate for Turkcell (the rate at which

Turkcell was losing customers) by a factor of 30.  When the truth was revealed, Turkcell ADSs



fell to $9 5/16 each, representing a loss of market capitalization of over $650 million from

the offering.
