However, foreign natural persons must also have the right to settle in Turkey in order to become a member. This condition does not apply to honorary membership.
The membership application to be made in writing to the chairmanship of the association is decided by the board of directors of the association in the form of acceptance or rejection of the request within maximum thirty days and the result is notified to the applicant in writing. The member whose application is accepted is recorded in the book to be kept for this purpose.
The original members of the association are the founders of the association and the persons accepted to membership by the board of directors upon their application.
Those who have provided significant financial and moral support to the association may be accepted as honorary members by the decision of the board of directors.
When the number of branches of the association is more than three, the membership records of those registered at the headquarters of the association are transferred to the branches. New membership applications are made to the branch. Acceptance to membership and removal from membership are made by the branch administrative boards and are notified to the Headquarters in a letter within thirty days at the most.
Each member has the right to leave the association, provided that he or she notifies him in writing. As soon as the resignation letter of the member reaches the board of directors, the exit procedures are deemed to be completed. Resignation from membership does not end the accumulated debts of the member to the association.
