ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN ARBITRAL AWARDS
IN TURKEY

Arbitration is indubitably becoming a common way of resolving disputes. Arbitration
provides speed, neutrality, accuracy and enforceability; as a result it has been mainly
preferred over litigation. Arbitration procedure is very important indeed. However, enforcing
the arbitral award is as important as arbitration procedure itself, because an award that is
not enforced does not contribute to the parties in any way. Parties of arbitration procedure
prefer arbitration, as the judgment has a high chance to be enforced under the 1958 New
York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, which
already has been adopted by 151 of the 193 United Nations Member States. Turkey is
one of these 151 countries; however, there are not enough sources in English that discuss
the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards pursuant to Turkish law. This
research paper intends to explain the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards
in Turkey, starting with a brief explanation on arbitration and foreign arbitral awards.
Next, the Turkish regulation regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral
awards and the 1958 New York Convention are represented. Furthermore, limited defenses
preventing enforcement are explained. Additionally, this research paper does not only stay
with the theory, but also discusses the matters in the light of the decisions of the Turkish
Court of Cassation. Consequently, the research paper offers profitable information in English
regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards.
Keywords: enforcement; foreign law; arbitral awards; foreign arbitral awards; Turkey;
arbitration procedure.
