The effect of the concept of nation on the ac­quis­i­tion of na­tion­al­ity by nat­ur­al­isa­tion

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Ipek Sarioz Buy­ukalp’s art­icle, pub­lished in the Gal­ata­s­aray Uni­vers­ity Fac­ulty of Law Journ­al on 16 June 2025, con­siders how the concept of cit­izen­ship in the Con­sti­tu­tion of the Re­pub­lic of Turkey relates to the nation-state ap­proach. It also dis­cusses the re­quire­ments for ex­traordin­ary nat­ur­al­isa­tion in Turk­ish na­tion­al­ity law and the rules al­low­ing priv­ileged for­eign­ers, such as Blue Card hold­ers and long-term res­id­ence permit hold­ers, to enjoy rights gran­ted to Turk­ish cit­izens, ending with pro­pos­als aimed at con­sist­ency with the con­sti­tu­tion­al notion of na­tion­al cit­izen­ship.
