Turkish Code of Obligations, Art. 60.

"The claim for general or intangible damage is barred after one year from the date when the prejudiced party has received knowledge of the damage and of the person liable, but in any case ten years from the date when the act causing damage took place.
Where the action is based on a tort for which the penal law prescribes a longer period of limitation, then the latter shall also apply to the civil claim.
If the tort gives rise to a demand against the injured party, the latter may also repudiate the demand, even if his claim arising out of the tort is barred by the statue of limitation."
