Nazım Hikmet’in Polonya Vatandaşlığı Meselesi

Nazım Hikmet gets out of jail, taking advantage of the general amnesty in 1950 and flees to the Soviet Union from Turkey. When The Council of Ministers denaturalizes him from Turkish citizenship in 1951, he becomes stateless. Upon this, one of the countries of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics confers citizenship to him. As his grandfather Konstanty Borzecki (Mustafa Celaleddin Pasha) was born and raised in Poland before taking refuge in Ottoman Empire, Nazım Hikmet was granted Polish citizenship. It is considered that this situation is expected not to givemuch damage to diplomatic relations betweenThe Soviet Union and Turkey. Until now, the matter of Nazım Hikmet's Polish citizenship has not been clarified on the basis of documents. In this article, the subject is clarified and documents prove Nazım Hikmet's Polish citizenship.
