Dears,
i really hope my colleagues from work made a stupid joke! maybe you know for sure ...
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!
Thanks!
ANDREEA Inankur for ever!


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'



hahhaha
the one with KORKMA ...
my husband laughs because i sing it in home like this: KORKMA ta ta MUSTAFAAAA

I am sorry: i love turkey, i love Ataturk but i dont accept

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...



i am not hysterical Alpha, i am just intrigued ... because its not normal smth like this ... the first acceptance is coming from the family and society, and if they all received me as i am - without knowing turkish at first, with my name which might be hard for them to remember it etc etc what is the problem? what advantages can this provide now or later?

Andreea, I honestly symphatize with you...But the issue is not as important as you make out, if your desire to change your nationality is sincere...

If not sincere, you can stay at your own nationality..they can not stop your marriage...

i understand alpha. maybe in 2 years i will think otherwise and if they allow me keep Andreea i might choose Aylin or even Ayse as second, but only as SECOND and anyway no one will call me like this. I am thinking that for my future children will be better and anyway not all the companies want to make calisma izni ... soooooo ...
but its smth wrong with this law

I dont think it is true though..I dont think you need to have a Turkish name at all. It will be very stupid if it is true!!
I think it is best ask Marioninturkey. She is a Turkish citizen I think.
