Gustave you seem to have been grabbed by the Turkish information office. This exception exists all the way through. And even more as you will see. When I was a young child, I had several classmates of partly or fully foreign origin. I will not tell you though, whether my parents were both Germans. I may be a German, a cosmopolitan, a jew, all the three in one person, you just choose. Only three things about me you should consider truth in the following, although you tactically posed as doubtful upon it. 1st I have a German passport, and 2nd I already had one when I entered school, and 3rd I am in Germany now. Maybe I have a second citizenship, too? From my schoolmates, I remember: a guy who had two citizenships: Egyptian and German. Both Parents Egyptian. a familiy (three brothers, a sister, and their parents) with all children having two citizenships: one Italian, one German. One Parent Italian, one German. Three fellow pupils from two families. Both fathers Turkish, mothers born German, kids of one family: Turkish, kids of other family: two citizenships. One mother took Turkish citizenship and let German one "sleep". She didn't tell me what this meant exactly though. I know the elder boy decided later to join Turkey. He had to decide before entering military service. His younger sister maybe still has both citzenships. She was our small town beauty. The majority of "foreign" classmates had one citizenship only, mostly the one their parents had, but in principle it could have been the German one easily when both parents were original Turks, who want to keep their passport but after birth of their child in Germany apply for the german citizenship for him/her. Anyway it was not in a big international metropolitan town (like Brussels) but in a quiet sleepy little country town, so I have nearly no chance of being Canadian. In your article it is written the founding law on citizenship hasn't been changed in 86 years, so it doesn't matter that these experiences are around 25-20 years ago. Additional information may be given on people from Poland, and Russia, either German origin or not, and so on. MNI.
