TURKCELL COMMENTS ON MEDIA NEWS
Subject: Statement made pursuant to Circular VIII, No: 39 of the Capital Markets Board.
Istanbul Stock Exchange
ISTANBUL
Special Subjects:
This is an announcement in response to various news in the media.
Since its inception, Turkcell has been offering and will continue to offer the best technology, product, service and price alternatives to its customers.
With the advantages provided so far, Turkcell always gives priority to its customers’ benefits and operates in line with the regulations of the Telecommunications Authority and other relevant market guidelines.
Accordingly, Turkcell’s competitors’ public statements claiming that we take unfair competitive actions do not reflect the facts.
The call termination rates determined by the Telecommunications Authority in Turkey are the lowest of the European Union averages. Furthermore, Turkcell charges the lowest call termination rates among the mobile operators in Turkey.
The competitive GSM market established by the Telecommunications Authority results in a more beneficial environment for the consumers and enables them to get more value. We expect a similar competitive environment to be established for the fixed telephony market soon.
As always, Turkcell will continue to provide solutions to meet the needs and expectations of its customers and, if necessary, reserves the right to take legal steps to protect its interests.
We hereby confirm that the above-mentioned explanations are furnished as per the provisions of the Communiqué Serial no VIII/39, that they reflect all information we have gathered so far, that they are in accordance with our corporate documents, that we have used all endeavors to collect the complete and true related information and that we assume the responsibility for this disclosure
