Arbitration has been developed over the last century following the development of international trade. The role of State courts in the arbitration proceedings has been limited, which allowed arbitration to be conceived as an independent and autonomous dispute resolution method. Turkey has been a party to all major international agreements on arbitration. Turkish International Arbitration Law (TIAL) and Turkish Civil Procedure Law (TCPL), the two key laws on arbitration, are drafted on the basis of the UNCITRAL Model Law. Current trends in international arbitration have therefore been implemented in our positive law. There are some procedural differences between TIAL and TCPL regarding the assistance and supervision of the State courts, especially in precautionary measures and provisional attachment. However, the regulations in the aforementioned laws are in line with the international regulations and current understanding of arbitration. State courts’ jurisdiction under the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) regarding arrest of ships in the disputes subject to arbitration does not conflict either with the TCPL and TIAL regulations.
