I think Conchita's winning didn't help to get Turkey back, if they were returning for 2015...
Turkey TURKEY 2015 - not taking part

Unpleasant....
Isn't that a little bit too dramatizing?
I also like how some people here try to portay Turkey as the only country whose majority of the society would kinda be "omg" about Conchita. As if the Eastern Europe, as well as other parts in Europe is totally fine with that... Just because their delegations kept quiet it doesn't mean anything.
Also, I wonder why I couldn't find any source in Turkish for that news about TRT. Might be cause it's totally fake. Some people like fabricating such stuff about Turkey to denigrate her image, obviously. And apparently nobody remembers that Turkey hosted Eurovision in 2004 where a country performed a gay show on the stage. Or; they pretend as if that never happent for obvious reasons. As a matter of fact; people set the standards too high for Turkey when it comes to tolerance and such (without taking Eastern Europe into consideration); and when Turkey fails to compete with Western Europe, Turkey automatically becomes Saudi Arabia. First they should take a look at how gays were treated when Russia hosted Eurovision and compare that to 2004. Well, LGBT parades are held every year in Turkey with excessive amount of participation and no troubles. People like ignoring these facts.
Anyways; I hope we will return. My enthusiasm for ESC has died down since we withdrew... (Haven't posted here since the beginning of the last summer)

Yes not all the people can accept her, but seeing the televoting results you will understand that they are in a good way

Not really, look
I said not everyone can accept her, but seeing her do that well in televoting is positive
Which is the right thing to do. This is a song contest.
I also feel that many people voted for Conchita just because he was kinda "unique" and "different". Personally I believe that he didn't deserve to win but that's just my view. It was disgusting how the audience booed Russian performers who had nothing to do with their delegation's behaviours. Gay fanaticism at its finest.
NOTE: inb4 people accuse me of homophobia; I'm for gay marriage.

Now seriously, I fail to understand why is it so bad?
I ADORE that entry, choreography and costumes are BRILLIANT, vocal could be a bit better, but even that is not a big problem at all in that entry..
It has real Turkish ethnic elements from Anatolia..it's my fave Turkish entry EVER, after maNga of course..

We -as majority of Turkish public- don't find that entry serious. All she is about to do is screaming over and over again, while lyrics make no sense.
"That's not love, that's not love [by another word], that's melancholia"
When I type "Rimi Rimi Ley" to google, the first suggestion is "... songwriter". And yes, that's not something we expect.
When it comes to talk about Turkey at Eurovision in 21st century on programmes, generally they skip 2005 & 2006 and directly get Kenan Doğulu from Athena.
