So?!



Thanks. Just because our language is derived from Arabic doesn't mean we have Arab roots... nothing against Arabs of course, they did conquer Malta for a while back in the 11th century (?) but so did Ottomans, British etc and all left their own influences

Sorry for specific mention. I just wanted to point out that the European part of Turkey wasn't that "small", it's as big as a EU country.

Enlighten me people (as I'm too lazy to skim through 30 pages) - why are Turkey not taking part again?

Yes it is not clear at all :? Apparently they were in and had already selected a singer and a song, but for some reason have suddenly gone back on it all.

Erdogan won elections there. That's the main problem.

The AKP government is conservative and closer to the East, as they're Muslims. So, TRT as government channel, has no place in this totally European contest. But if you ask, they'll say ''The voting is not fair.'' while just skipping the final once.

And i'm dying of happiness just because dragvision is banned. She needed English lessons and now she has lots of time for that. Learn before troll, biatch.

So Turkey withdrew from Eurovision and started their own contest because they were not happy with the 50/50 jury-televoting format. Guess what will be the voting format of Turkvizyon 2014? :lol:

Again, I feel very sorry for Turkish fans. They have a terrible broadcaster, their country don't participate in contest for the third consecutive year and they need to bear that ridiculous drama (also known as Türkvizyon).
