Turkey TURKEY 2015 - not taking part

[DanielLuis]

Umm... By applying to join the EBU?

Broadcasters can't just apply like that. They need to have some percentage of their broadcasted programmes dedicated to public service. And of course they need to fullfill other required conditions. They could apply, and even be accepted, but it would probably take some years, like Liecthenstein's 1FLTV and Kazhakstan's K-1, that have been applying for 6 years already!

Giving a try is better than doing nothing.

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?

*hust* NERIT for Greece

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

Well you're so right. I heared also some things about the hair of Semiha Yanki. And totally agree with Hadise. TRT had many problems with her and since then we don't send a woman to Eurovision. It's so unfair! Hadise was great, she was ill but she performed! Hadise could win if she try it again! TRT is stupid! Acun would do a fantastic job! I contacted him many times about that but he didn't reply.. Well let's hope the best :-/

 

[dragvision]

yes in fact turkey in the '80 have send only female but in Group with men, see for example haley, banaba...

 

[greece]

EDIT

 

[Sean]

These are great news! I'm glad that they are finally back cause I missed them... I don't think that they would gave us again this year... the song wasn't good

Hmm wrong topic?

 

[greece]

Hmm wrong topic?

Oops yes you're right

Actually that's a totally different story because NERIT is the sucessor of ERT, and because Greece had no public broadcaster and no member after ERT was shutdown, and as such, EBU opened an exception for the new state broadcaster. The same happened to Lybia after their revolt and the same might happen to Israel if they do close down IBA and if they form a new state broadcaster afterwards.

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.

They can't even broadcast mainstream commercials.Joining a contest means money.

And i don't think TRT is the only ''appopriate'' channel for EBU in Turkey.Our people are addicted to TV so i'm sure a channel with a good quality can be the new broadcaster.I have no hope from TRT.

 

[escandesc]

Hadise was great, she was ill but she performed!

She was ill? or it is just an excuse they made for their bad performance? Hadise did not deserve to place 4th with that performance.

ATV would be the perfect choice imo

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding?

Nope. It's popular and it has all the skills that are needed

I sent Ibrahim Sahin, the Head of Delegation of TRT an E-Mail and I received an answer:

My dear friend, due to the fact that you wrote me a polite message I'll answer you. I never answered to anyone else. The reason that we don't participate isn't the voting fact. The reason: They met us, they could take a decision after hearing to our criticise. They take western decisions. It hurts us. I can't stand out.

And the winners are revealed before the show. It's not a competition - it's a show. Has it a sense then?

We pay money and then we don't have an excitement.

Last but not least, TRT applied to be a broadcasting member of the contest (in 2013,2014 I guess) and they didn't put our name to the list.

With all my respect

Yeah,sure,as long as they love Tayyip.I don't want to be rude but you really look ignorant about New Turkey.In New Turkey,we don't believe to the government.Everything about the government is false or harmful.Unless you agree with them,they love you.But if you don't,they do everything to sweep you away.Think i'm exaggerating?
Police in Gezi protests killed a 14yrs old child.President got her mother booed to his crowd.

Police,when not beating up protesters,tries to get more ''penalty points'' via harassing the transvestite prostitutes.The female-to-male transvestites have to do prostitution because nobody gives them jobs.There are several good examples,though.

And if you're strong in the government,you can rape a child and go with it.With lots of examples like this,i think the e-mail you got wouldn't be trusted by lots of Turks.What that actually means was ''We can have erections from the female singers,and there are gays,Europe is Christian anyway.''
Because all they want is a place for them.A place that they can't be erected all the time,a place that they can have all that money they want,a place that they can watch people kill eachother for religion,race or political view conflict.

Sorry for the long political post but i really want to make some things clear for this subject.

Don't worry friend, everything will be ok. Erdogan's end will be like Caligula's.
