Turkey will never allow citizenship to be relinquished. Morocco does the same. And they proscribe the names a child born of Turkish/ Moroccan citizens can have. This way, they sneakily create a long arm, and can exercise influence on politics ....
I agree, and maybe that is indeed how he feels. But it is not accepted in Turkey by the .gov.
In The Netherlands we call this: Erdogan' s long arm. The same thing for Germany.
It was short before the 2017 elections, if I remember correctly. VVD of PM Rutte stood to lose quite a lot of seats in parliament to the PVV and FVD. So, this did not sit well with the Turks, en in went some female minister of his, causing a political problem, which of course would make Rutte a hero of the day. Next we know, his party won the elections.
This is the advantage of having dual citizens to a country that prohibits renunciation of their citizenship.
And worse, it maintains a permanent multi-generational 5th column.It is a huge mistake to take people and give them citizenship while they have to maintain their old one while keeping their kids in that same bondage.

Dr. Oz could renounce it though.
Yes he could. ... But Turkey won' t allow it.
I mean, he could simply say he renounces it and stop voting in Turkish elections.
