Turkey TURKEY 2015 - not taking part

[Archer]

Please, don't start with a political discussion :?

I think that TRT will send Aynur Aydin or Atiye to Eurovision (if we will return).

Hopefully they will make a national selection..

Hopefully Model... I'm fed up with mainstream pop singers.

Better we don't participate then.

I feel very sorry for Turkish fans. They have horrible broadcaster and very conservative government, which are really against country's participation in contest. However, I hope that Turkey will come back in 2015. Usually they have good songs.

i think trt is 99% withrew, in the confirmed countries have put this country in the withrew section, but for 1% i think can come on back only because turkey love austria

No confirmation means every chance.

From anti-Erdogan protests during Erdogan's visit in Germany. It's fake of course but who could figure out

When i first saw this i was like ''OMG SHE'S WITH US SO CUTE SO KAWAII I'M DYIIIIAAAANG'' but then i realized it's not Conchy.Well-made cosplay though.

And btw i don't want to see Model at ESC at all.I still want Bedük He'll nail it.

I think he's the only Turkish singer that can integrate reallly Turkish stuff into high quality Western electronic music.

Omg I love Beduk! My favourite is Electric Girl:

 

[Archer]

Beduk would do well in Eurovision for sure... But that type of music is not a cup of my tea... A rock or pop-rock entry would be cool. Also there's the fact that we haven't sent a female artist for a long time, so.

Yeah this is a great song

My guilty pleasure, deleted

 

[ESCTurkeyFan6767]

I want Aynur Aydin

Why? We could participate with a new fresh singer with the televote!

 

[Evalngelion]

I want Turkey Back to Eurovision, Hope it happens..

 

[Nikkita]

Why? We could participate with a new fresh singer with the televote!

Well,if we participate with TRT,they can manipulate easily that ''fresh new'' singer.When we first participated in 1975,i heard that Semiha Yankı had to dyed her hair because ''Turkish woman were not blonde.''. Even Hadise had pretty hard times with them,she's powerful in the pop scene,had lots of sponsors in that time,they banned her video for Düm Tek Tek...tbh i want to see a new channel for Turkey,not islamic biased TRT.Even Acun can make a better progress than TRT

 

[Sammy]

i don't think trt would hand it over to another channel. IF they return, trt would surely be in control of the artist that represents turkey

 

[Leydan]

Surely with TRT not participating in 2013 or 2014 meant another channel could pick it up if they wanted to? Or do they hold sole rights to it in Turkey?

Not sure.

I'd say Halk TV should take on it. Let's start a campaign and write a petition or something like that. I'm sure they will respond at the very least. But people are so lazy. It's kinda sad that those ESC organizations and fan groups are waiting doing nothing. Shame on them all.

TRT is the only Turkish EBU member, so there's no possibilities for another channel to pick it up. How can eurovision fans still think it can be picked up by any channel?

Umm... By applying to join the EBU?
