{{#badges: CoalSwarm|Navbar-Turkeycoal}}'''TTK''', the acronym for Turkiye Taskomuru Kurumu Genel Mudurlu, is a Turkish government owned hard coal mining company. The U.S. Geological Survey reported in 2010 that TTK owned and operated five mines with an annual production capacity over over 2 million tonnes a year of run-of-mine coal.<ref name="USGS">Philip M. Mobbs, [http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/country/2010/myb3-2010-tu.pdf "2010 Minerals Yearbook: Turkey"], United States Geological Survey, April 2012, page 56.7</ref>

[[Euracoal]], the European coal industry lobby group, states that "the state-owned TTK has a de facto monopoly on the production, processing and distribution of hard coal, although there are no legal restrictions on private sector involvement ... Long-standing restructuring and privatisation efforts to increase coal production in the basin have not succeeded so far; coal production today is not very different from that of ten years ago."<ref>Euracoal, [http://www.euracoal.be/pages/layout1sp.php?idpage=475 "Turkey"], Euracoal website, accessed February 2013.</ref>
