Dears,

when becoming a turkish citizen someone NEEDS TO CHANGE HIS NAME? meaning to take turkish name?
not to be confusions: Andreea Inankur ... tamammm, Inankur i got married, took my husbands family name ...
I understood i need to change Andreea into turkish name, which WONT HAPPEN!!!
I prefer not taking the citizenship than changing my name ... its absurd!

NOT even!!! anyway my grandmother in law is telling me Ayse because Andreea its hard at her age to say and remember and i dont mind coming from her part!
BUT NO ONE IS CHAINGING MY NAME or ADDING SMTH!
What is this? My parents named me Andreea, its the name they love and i love, all my documents are on the name of Andreea, they are coming now and saying to take turkish name!
The name wont make me TURK! Ne mutlu turkum diyene, means what a happiness for the one than can call himself turk, not for the one that takes turkish names and lives in turkey ... with the risk to step on Article 301 i wont change my name and take turkish citizenship! I will pay 600 YTL / year for that ikamet teskeresi for the rest of my life, but I don’t care!
sorry guys but it seems very absurd to me ...

It sounds really absurd and I don't see how they can demand you change your name..but then again it's Turkey, you never know

Having a turkish name is not the only thing:
you have to pass turkishness test in which you have to sing national anthem without a single mistake, depending on who interviews you, -if an islamist- you may be asked to recite three versus in arabic, -if it is a nationalist- you may be asked to sing 'cirpinirdi karadeniz'

Andreea, do not be hysterical ...
There are advantages in taking up a second name in Turkish, that you will appreciate later...You do not have to drop your original name...
