Soru inheritance law - reserved portion

Hello!
Could anyone please inform me about which family members have rights to "reserved portion" according to turkish inheritance law ? Is it only children, spouse, parents and siblings or can be and someone else ? Can it be a cousin ?
The case : unmarried woman with no children passes away abroad (she had turkish AND foreign citizenship). She owned a real property (house)in Turkey.She was an only child (had no siblings at all) and her parents had passed away before her. Her closer relatives are 4 cousins of her children of her parents ' s siblings)
She had a will made abroad accordind to which her only beneficiary is a woman friend of hers. This will is already legally recognised as valid by Turkish Court.But it is not clear to me if this beneficiary is now the only owner of the inheritance (house)or there is a "reserved portion" for her cousins. Please help me!
