    Yes, Turkey allows dual citizenship. Some countries, such as India, China and Saudi Arabia, may impose restrictions on dual citizenship. So before applying for Turkish citizenship, it would be better to check if your country allows dual citizenship.

    The Republic of Turkey's allowed to have more than one citizenship. In this case, the person who acquired Turkish citizenship registers the other citizenship to the population register via notification. However, due to the principle of reciprocity in International Law, if the only nationality rule is applied in the other country, Turkey will not allow the applicant to have Turkish citizenship. As a result, the citizen of the country where the single citizenship rule applies will not be able to acquire Turkish citizenship without giving up his original citizenship.
