EXHIBIT 99.1

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING LAWSUITS AGAINST THE DECISONS OF THE ICTA

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

Istanbul Stock Exchange

ISTANBUL

Special Subjects:

On May 26, 2009 we have announced that our Company was evaluating to take legal actions for the protection of our rights in regards to some decisions of the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (“ICTA”)’s reduction in the termination rates of our Company and decision on retail pricing.

In this regard, our Company has filed two lawsuits in the Highest Administrative Court.

One of the lawsuits is initiated in regards to the annulment of the decision of the ICTA dated on March 25, 2009 concerning the new termination rates to be applied by our Company effective as of May 1, 2009.

The second lawsuit is related with the annulment of the decision of the ICTA dated on March 25, 2009 stating that the weighted average on-net price of each retail tariff package based on usage shall not be lower than the weighted average termination rates applied to other companies.

These lawsuits we have filed also include the request to apply to the Constitutional Court claiming that the related clauses of Law that the aforementioned decisions based are in conflict with the Constitutional Law.
