Trading in Turkcell Was Suspended in Istanbul and New York Stock Exchange


    Business Editors

    ISTANBUL, Turkey--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2005--Turkcell (NYSE: TKC, ISE: TCELL), the leading provider of mobile communications in Turkey, announced today that trading in Turkcell was suspended in Istanbul Stock Exchange today.
    Turkcell made an announcement earlier today in response to a request from the Istanbul Stock Exchange for information regarding the expiration of the Cukurova Group's option to buy Turkcell shares, directly and indirectly owned by Yapi Kredi Bank (YKB) as of January 31, 2005, and developments regarding the subject. Even though we informed the Istanbul Stock Exchange that Turkcell is not a party to the agreements related to Cukurova Group's option to buy Turkcell shares, and that we do not have any information at this time, the trading suspension continued all day since Istanbul Stock Exchange is expecting further information from other parties subject to the agreement.
    Given that trading in Turkcell was suspended in Istanbul, the NYSE has halted trading in New York as well. Once Turkcell receives additional information regarding this subject, it will make necessary announcements.
