When applying for an ESTA do I have to say I have another nationality?

You have to declare both current and past citizenship on the ESTA Application. So, it doesn’t matter if you renounced or how you view yourself.

From the ESTA Application:

Are you now, a citizen or national of any other country?

Have you ever been a citizen or national of any other country?

Seems that if either of your parents were Turkish citizens at your birth, Turkey claims you as a citizen, event though they may not even know about you. Ask your parents if they have proof renouncing their Turkish citizenship, then consult a lawyer specializing in US immigration policy.

To answer the question : Yes you have to declare all your citizenships on the ESTA application. The question is about legalities, and it doesn’t matter what you ‘regard yourself’ as.

You should investigate whether you have Turkish citizenship. If it turns out that you do, you should declare it. It probably is going to have no effect on your ESTA application.

It’s also worth pointing out that most countries allow you to renounce a citizenship, so that’s an option if you find you have a citizenship you don’t want.
