Austria: To cancel the Austrian citizenship of Turks holding dual citizenship,

(Wien) The Austrian Government has approved the decision to cancel the Austrian citizenship of Turks holding dual citizenship. The decision follows a move by Austria’s Interior Ministry to crack down on dual citizenship, which is illegal in the country, except in very few cases. The issue of Turkish citizenship was cast into question during Turkey’s 2017 presidential referendum, where of the 95,000 Austria-based voters, 73 percent supported the push for constitutional change in Turkey.
