Merhaba! Good afternoon! Nasilsiniz? I hope I said that right. My wife is a student studying International Business in Krakow, Poland and we are having some trouble finding information that we need for her to complete a school project. I have looked exhaustively for the information, and while I have found a great deal of vague outlines I have no legal documents to reference or cite. I cannot seem to find the Turkish Commercial Code, Civil Code, Code of Obligation or official, detailed tax information written in English and would certainly appreciate any guidance or help You could give me. Please find a copy of the information I need below.

The paper is due Wednesday and my wife called me in a panic this morning so I am now charged with the task of locating the information. If it is too much trouble or too late when You receive this email, I understand and wish You a happy new year and the best to You and Yours!
Here is the copy of the outline for the project. All I really need is a legal reference to find the answers.

General issues, evaluation, conditions:
1. Short paper showing the core of the problem(up to 5 pages)
2. Answers to questions – when answering, u have to quote legal ground
3. Presentation of normative acts, documents, essays, bibliography (on CD)
