The cheques as the payment devices are widely used in commercial life. It is widely observed that a cheque may be on the circulation in the countries other than in which they have been issued. For this reason, a cheque may appear to be on circulation beyond the border of the country of issuance. Thus, the existence of a foreign element in international commerce as regards the cheques and this leads to the issues of conflicts of laws. Broadly, one may discern two systems in the law of bills of exchange. One of these is the system of Geneva Conventions; the other is the AngloSaxon system which is based on the Bills of Exchange Act of 1882. In the zones where the Geneva Conventions system is endorsed, the principle of abstraction is pertinent. Therefore, the conflict of law rules pertaining to the cheques is regulated in an abstract manner, without considering the rapport behind the bill of exchange. The legal source of Turkish conflict of laws about the cheques as specified in the Turkish Commercial Law is the set of provisions in the Geneva Convention for the Settlement of Certain Conflicts of Laws in Connection with Cheques of 1931. The relevant provisions of this Convention have been directly adopted in the Turkish Commercial Law no 6762. In our study, we will evaluate the provisions in the Turkish Commercial Law no. 6102 that will enter into force on 1 July 2012. Also in this study, judicial decisions on bill of exchange and on particularly cheques will be mentioned
