In 2006, at age of 16,[1] she illegally immigrated to Turkey via Beirut, Lebanon.[2][3][6] She was caught by police in Istanbul, however barely escaped deportation. Following adventurous times, she was acknowledged as a talented athlete candidate by Ertan Hatipoğlu, the former coach of Abeylegesse.[2][3][6] Her application for Turkish citizenship was accepted in January 2010.[1] She took the Turkish name Meryem and chose as surname Erdoğan for her admiration of the Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[4]

Sports career[edit]

In 2009, she placed second at the half marathon in Trabzon[4] and fourth in the 15 km run at the 31st Eurasia Marathon in Istanbul.[7] In March of the same year, she won the 10 km road run of the 4th International Runtalya Marathon in Antalya with a time of 33:09.[8]

Her international debut following her acquirement of a Turkish passport was at the Papaflessia international meeting held in Kalamata, Greece on May 29, 2010, where she won the 1500 m event in 4:16.92.[3][9] At her next international participation, the 14th European Cup 10000m held on June 5, 2010, in Marseille, France, she placed fourth in a personal best time of 31:55.53.[6][10][11]

On July 28, 2010, Erdoğan finished fifth in the 10000 m final at the European Championships in Barcelona, Spain, clocking a new personal best of 31:44.86.[12] Four days later, on August 1, 2010, she finished seventh in the 5000 m final, in another personal best time of 15:14.92.[13] She became the women's under-23 champion at the 2010 European Cross Country Championships, winning by a margin of nine seconds.[14]
