Aleks was probably talking about that Syria-Turkey-Russia friendship triangle whose height is ISIS.



How do you know Aysun Gültekin? :lol: She's one of my mother's favorite folk music singers.

OMG :D Thank you for your nice words xheartNo, actually my grandmother is an immigrant from Bulgaria & my grandfather is from Crimea, Russia. But my mother loves Turkish folk music. I like it too, I prefer Thracian and Aegean folk though. Eastern Anatolian music is too dark for me, the lyrics are usually so sad etc.

Last year I went to the concert of Aysun Gültekin with my mother. Got bored with the songs but she's really good live! Her voice is very powerful.

Thanks for the answer, yes it seems Eastern Anatolian music is quite sad.. :(

That movie also was AMAZING, but a bit sad..

I love black Sea region too, with these beautiful forests and highlands..i watched movie "Honey" /"Bal" which was filmed in pine forests of Black sea region..sad movie as well, but I prefer movies like that..

I ADORE Horon dance from that region :) :) :)

Cool that you grandfather is from Crimea, Ukraine. Not a big fan of Aysun Gültekin myself though.

Black Sea music is great, I prefer ballads from there not uptempo songs. There is an instrument called "tulum" and it sounds like bagpipe. Also there is "kemençe" which is also played by Greeks. I love how different cultures can have similar music :)

It's not about that, don't generalize me. She heightened our expectations so much, having lots of money from sponsors but spending none of those into her ESC performance, also she couldn't sing. It has nothing to do with winning or losing, trust me Everyway That I Can is one of my least favourite ESC performances.

I didn't mean "you" specifically :) It's really the Turkish logic.

Hadise is an average pop singer who can't sing. Never had high expectations of her myself anyway :) And with that horrible belly dancer outfit, dated tune, bad voice, that blinding red theme; 4th was a miracle.

I think it was a couple of weeks back, but that a few countries with special circumstances can still join if they decide to? Not sure if there's any particular date on that though.

You can cut out Lebanon and Morocco. The chances that they would participate are zero.

I think the same thing, AKP (Erdogan), have won the election, will now be content and happy and decide to participate.

AKP has been winning for the last 13 years but we haven't participated since 2012? And do we even have time?

Bitch, I'm tired of Turkey going on and off. They even said they wanted before the 2015 competition was over now and now they take it all back. Not really surprised bc it's Turkey
