Thanks for your answer, but it does NOT seem correct. If expats, spouses, etc., can become citizens at any age, how could children of Turks not have the same option after age 19?.

As an adult child of a Turkish father, the following which i read in a Turkish paper applies to me:

"In Article 66 it can be found that "the child of a Turkish father or a Turkish mother is a Turk," which means that Turkish nationality is usually handled according to the principle of blood ties".

So I already know that my blood qualifies me to become Turkish citizen (regardless of age), however, what i wanted to know is whether i can have my birth registered without being given citizenship. I am only 18 and don't know if i want to serve the army, for that reason i don't want to request citizenship YET, but I would like to have my birth registered. So can I register birth without becoming citizen or is citizenship automatic upon birth registration?

Please someone who knows this law, please help me. Thank you.
