Okay, well now I'm more inclined to believe it

Contacted TRT about the situation. They said that there weren't any decisions about the participation and that official announcements will be made via the official TRT homepage.

So let's wait until September.

This is clear from the very begining. Broadcatsers usually announce themselves what they have to announce with the sole exception of Czech Republic and Slovakia which use the sites to announce their (non) participation. I'm optimistic we will see Turkey next year :)

Can't give a proper reason. Maybe it is because I think TRT will not pay attention to what people say and send whoever they want.

Fair enough. As a Brit I should sympathise but I'd have been sad if the UK didn't take part when we were sending awful songs :lol:

Well lets see, but i have a feeling that TRT will refuse it for 3 consecutive time in participate, but who knows if they change their position.

I like these drama tensions about Turkey. Hopefully I will like it even more when they finally have their say and it's YES! :)

Maybe it is just because I need some more Turkish drama, but I've been investigating (love you, Google Translate) a little about this supposed confirmation of Turkey's non-participation and I've come to the conclusion that I don't really know if "Ms. Yagmur Tüzün" really exists (or, at least, that she could have been someone who could respond to the question on participation). I searched something about her and, yes, there's a Yagmur Tüzün working for TRT, but she's just an interpreter (something that may explain why it was her who answered to the Eurovision Ireland question). Moreover, in the TRT website there's a kind of organigram with the "bosses" of the corporation where it appears that the responsible for the international relationships of the channel is Aysen Diker. With all this, it could be obvious that it was Ms. Tüzün who answered to Eurovision-Ireland's question on behalf of Ms. Diker (or/and her team), but here's what made me doubt in the beginning: Sibel Tüzün, Turkish entrant in 2006, has got a song called Yagmur, so Yagmur Tüzün may just be a construct which casually matches with the name of someone. Or, more possibly, Ms. Yagmur Tüzün really exists and it's a mere coincidence with Sibel's song, but come on, it's Summer and we all need some drama (and we all have so much time, yes) :lol:
