Turkish Nationality Law

Turkish Nationality Law primarily grants citizenship through descent (birth to Turkish parents), birth within Turkey (with specific conditions), or through legal naturalization. Foreigners can acquire Turkish nationality by residing in Turkey for a certain period, demonstrating integration, or through marriage to a Turkish citizen (usually after three years of marriage). The law also allows for dual nationality in some cases. Loss of citizenship can occur voluntarily or by legal means, such as acquiring another nationality. The law emphasizes maintaining national unity, and procedures are governed by principles of equality and procedural fairness.
