India, April 19 -- Turkcell took legal action against South African telecoms group MTN related to the disputed mobile license in Iran in 2004 and a conclusion on the $4.2 billion lawsuit in South Africa is anticipated this year.

"We don't have any doubt about our claims," says Serhat Demir, Turkcell Executive Vice President of Legal and Regulation. "Turkcell is determined to pursue this rightful case and confident that the judge will rule in Turkcell's favor. The seizure of documents during the investigation, the criminal case, the arrest and suspicious death of Ambassador Saloojee proves Turkcell's claims. We expect solid developments and a fair conclusion from South African police and judiciary about the lawsuit by the end of this year ?...
