Overall, citizenship is the manifestation of the legal link
between the individual and the country.1 A substantial
number of countries, especially looking out for their international
interests, offer simplified citizenship acquisition to individuals
contributing extraordinary benefits to them. In other words, when
certain national interests come into play, countries have not
insisted on general conditions for citizenship acquisition or they
have proposed simplified conditions.2,3
In general, the acquisition of Turkish
citizenship comes true in two ways: inherent acquisition
and subsequent acquisition.4 Additionally, the
subsequent acquisition of citizenship becomes a reality in three
various ways. These can be explained as the acquisition through the
official decision of the competent authority, acquisition through
adoption, and acquisition through selection.5
