Yes, because that was Sweden's best attempt in years.
Most broadcasters agree with the jury system. ONly those with the unfair advantage such as Turkey has a problem with it. But as I said, this is not the right topic to discuss the purpose of juries in general. (unrelated to Turkey)
I'm still sad Turkey is out but maybe a year watching from the sideline this year will help them to vent and just come back in 2014 refreshed and with something really awesome.

Before we won Eurovision our media also said that nobody likes Germany, but in the end it didn't matter for winning the ESC. Could it be that the songs you sent weren't as liked throughout Europe as the televote wants you to believe? The question one has to answer ist the following: Do we want to vote for the artists due to sympathy for the country or the quality of the music? The juries have definitely reduced the impact of diaspora voting which is just fair.
I'm done with the jury discussion in here.
BTWTRT is the only EBU member in Turkey,right? So nobody else could take over?
I think TRT is highly misunderstood at this point. They don't want solely televoting but what they're standing up against is "the intention" of including the juries in the first place. (that's my inference, having read the official article) They think the jury system was brought forward as an attempt to save the so-called "BIG 5". They didn't imply they want juries out and the result being merely dependant on televoting.

The excuses of TRT are complete bxllshxt! If you don't send somebody mighty,you don't get high points! Even with that,Turkey didn't get low marks.
TRT only wants it because of their fxcing religion.

Might you then answer me in a more appropriate thread? I am really eager to learn this.
Wrong decision from Turkey and what a bad behavior, only 1 day before the deadline of the applications of interest from all the countries to do that awful announcement, from one of the most successful countries in this contest. It's a pity!

Well, every rules has its advantages and disadvantages, anyway, I have to say that if there were no jury votes in the Eurovision 2012, the vote procedure would be far more exciting.

And 12 points from Azerbaïdjan go to Ukraine !
Now, EBU has to solve this problem with Turkey. Maybe it would be better to change at least the system with the automatic qualification of the BIG 5 countries in the final or not to have the juries voting, at least in the semi-finals. EBU has to do something because Turkey might won't be in next year too! But with a change rule, especially for the automatic qualifications of the BIG 5 countries, then we may have reactions from the BIG 5 countries, I believe especially from Germany & Italy...

Ahhhh enough with this please. its not even funny anymore. Annnnnd 12 points from Norway go to..... oh what a surprise Sweden. And 12 points from Iceland go to ...... another big shock Norway! Hello Denmark, ya ya 12 points to Sweden ......
Block voting is Scandinavian invention so, ppl from Eastern Europe always want to follow european model.
Nobody talk how much times Turkey was unfairly underrated in past times. They was always at the bottom and that was ok for everybody. In last decade they really care for ESC, and send very good songs, so they deserved every fu**** points.
They are modern and catchy, unlike BBC for example who is captured in ancient history
