I was thinking along the lines that if someone is granted a British passport and their nationality is Turkish, under the nationality section in this passport will say ' Turkish ' as they have the passport but not the nationality

A general rule of thumb is that passports are only issued to nationals of that country. Occasionally they may issue other travel documents (such as convention travel documents, laisser-passers, etc) to citizens of another country, but they will not issue passports unless the person holding the passport is also a citizen of that country.

One could be a citizen of multiple countries and therefore have multiple passports. I recall a case on these forums of a person holding four passports as he was a citizen of four countries. But he was a citizen of all four countries and therefore could carry all four passports with him.

A Turkish would not be issued a British passport unless he naturalised as a British citizen and became a British citizen. Therefore, in his passport, his citizenship would be listed as British.

Similarly, a Russian citizen would only be issued a Romanian passport if he naturalised as a Romanian citizen (i.e. he acquires Romanian citizenship) and therefore his passport would state that his nationality is Romanian.
