Citizenship Registration for Children from Mixed Marriages
April 3, 2025
A Turkish Cypriot woman married to a Turkish citizen cannot register her child as a Cypriot citizen if born in the occupied territory. If the child is born in Turkey or abroad, it is registered as a Cypriot citizen. This situation raised concerns, leading MP Irini Charalambidou to call for legislative changes regarding children from mixed marriages. The Committee Chair also emphasized the need to amend laws to address any legal loopholes.
