I was born in Greece not my parents did not apply for my Greek citizenship. However my parents are Turkish so I have a Turkish passport. I was told it would be difficult to get my Greek citizenship because of the international politics between Turkey and Greece. Please can you tell me the facts ? Do I have to renounce my Turkish citizenship before I can apply for a Greek passport?

Can you provide a little bit more information about your situation? Do you still live in Greece? Were you educated there? The law in Greece has recently changed to allow Greek citizenship to be conferred to persons born in Greece of foreign parents if they have attained a certain level of schooling in the Greek educational system. The relevant law is 3838/10, and you can read it in Greek here:
