New/returning countries

[sannerz]

But they're not European :?. We can have Worldvision if we want all different cultures + styles of music.

Neither is Israel. Nor is Georgia, Armenia, or Azerbaijan. /:

How about Molvania?

They are culturally European and are connected heavily with Europe. Arab countries arent.

 

[nikolay_BG]

Kazakhstan? Maybe Lebanon, but I vote for Kazakhstan.

That's a very subjective opinion. You could argue that Turkey has more Arab influences than European.

Is it a lie? They actually WON with a song in arabic style, clothes and dance.

It is subjective but that's just my opinion .

 

[LokoFan444]

Actually it would be a debut for Liechtenstein

 

[Quent91]

in 1977, they tried to enter, I think.

My predictions:

Montenegro will come back between now and a few years. I also think Monaco and Luxembourg will come back someday. And a North-African country will enter the contest in a few years.

Also in 1969...

Must add that Kazasthan, Kosovo, South Osetia, Abjasia, etc... also will do in the future.

Neither Arab, nor European, Turkish music is Central Asian. For the rest, it carries features from balkans, middle east and other regional musical elements, as well as more american or european influences. Yes we sent some songs in middle eastern style ( it is incorrectly called arab music, then Israeli music is fully arab as well ), but we sent other styles as well.

I'm not ashamed of middle eastern style, the people who should be ashamed is those who try to humiliate Turkish music with this style.

They try but not participate, so we still wait on Liechtenstein ESC debut entry

The bolded ones are NOT countries. Kazakhstan is. Eurovision isn`t about politics and your separatist ideas aren`t healthy for the contest TBH

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Actually Im not getting involved in this argument again . I'll just say that I believe they should join Eurovision.

 

[Grinch]

Turkey could be considered an Arab country.

What?!

 

[AlekS]

lulz. Arabian population is less than 1% there. Muslim? Yes. Arab - nope.

As for me ---> Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Czech Republic, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Montenegro, Luxembourg and Monaco.

 

[doctormalisimo]

I'd like to see the properly European countries to come back (Andorra, Czech Rep, Luxembourg, Monaco, Montenegro). Kazakhstan would be nice too. And it would be nice to see at least one Arab/Muslim country (like Lebanon or Morocco) in it, or even have all the Arab countries represented by a single entry...
