As
is taking part (Non associated member), EBU don't have any excuses to keep out from Eurovision & EBU membership, even they are outside the European broadcasting area.
Hopefully they at least accept Kazakhstan as non associated member due their loyalty in Broadcast live ESC from 2007.
And if Kazakhstan are accepted to join in ESC, Kesh You is my favorite suggestion for make a great debut

Re: KAZAKHSTAN 2016
Kazakhstan is one of the main reasons I was opposed to Australia joining the contest. Yes, there are tons of Australian fans, who are traveling across the globe to attend the event and it's immensely popular there. However, Kazakhstan has been trying to join the Eurovision family for years and is still waiting. So hopefully now that the contest is evolving into something that goes beyond the EBU borders, it only makes sense to let them in as well.
The fact that Kazakhstan is sending a delegation to Vienna, is giving me some hope that there may be a chance we'll see them in 2016. How awesome would that be?

Its seems that is not longer interested in Eurovision since Khabar TV this year opted not to Broadcast the show, due to the low rates of views of competition among Kazakh TV viewers over the past years.

Re: KAZAKHSTAN 2016
Well... if they gonna let Australia in permanently (hope they won't) then there are no arguments left for not letting in Kazakhstan which unlike Australia (which is almost as far from Europe as you can possibly get geographically) actually has a continental European part while the rest is a direct neighbor to Europe.

Sorry but no, we have more links with Australia, which have european roots, than Kazakhstan.

Well, Kazhakstan actually is in Europe.
Plus you're forgetting Europe is not just western Europe. And the eastern countries definitely do have more links to Kazhakstan than to Australia.

Re: KAZAKHSTAN 2016
Ehm? Australia is almost as far geographically from Europe as it could possibly get.
There's more to Europe than Western Europe and the UK you know that right? If we allow a country which is the most far away from Europe one could get, but close the door to a country that is IN Europe... then it's just hypocritical and the judgment is based solely on an Anglo/West-centric world-view and a ranking of countries, cultures and languages and nothing else...

Re: KAZAKHSTAN 2016
Might very well happen, but then again should we allow a country that is on the other side of the planet because it belongs to the "right culture" but not a European country because of potential bloc voting of the "wrong countries"? I'd say that reasoning is very scary...
I would love to see

Re: KAZAKHSTAN 2016
Well, that's true. I think allowing to participate was a big mistake, because now every country outside of Europe can claim their right to participate. EBU cannot refuse to participate as it is partially in Europe, unlike Australia - and if the rumors that Kazakh delegation was present in Vienna, then I think it's clear that the debut is inevitable.

Re: KAZAKHSTAN 2016
I always thought that their reasoning for not allowing (which is partly within continental Europe) was dubious, and with allowing (and potentially permanent) Australia it proves even further that EBU only talk cr*p.
I don't think Australia should be let back, they did their anniversary thing and they didn't win so that's that... and like you said making them permanent will make other arguments against non-European countries entering (and especially countries that ARE partly European) look very hypocritical...

They'd give 8 to Russia, 10 and 12 to Turkey and Azerbaijan (not sure who would get which)
Bloc voting is an uncontrollable reality in the contest, we should try to live with it. Just enjoy the contest, it doesn't determine the winner for most of the time.
