What it means for you
If you have signed anything in Türkiye, this is the law that decides what the words mean, when you may walk away, what you owe if you break it, and how long you have to sue. It also carries the tort rules that govern accidents and professional negligence.
Commonly confused with
Not the Commercial Code. TTK governs merchants, companies and commercial paper; TBK is the general private law underneath it. Where TTK is silent, TBK fills the gap.
Where you meet this word
In almost every Turkish contract, in the article numbers your lawyer cites when explaining a remedy, and in any damages claim.
Statute: Turkish Code of Obligations (TBK) No. 6098
