ISTANBUL, TURKEY – Unfortunately once again we have to report that officially the Turkish national broadcaster will not enter the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest which withdrew back in 2013. TRT Teletext mentioned that Senol Gรถka, the head of TRT officially announced the information for the same reasons again: demand for voting system change back to 100% tele voting.

I haven’t been a great fan of the turkish entries over the years (I think the one I liked the most was “Deli” back in 2008) but I always supported all the countries’ right to be represented in the contest. The only reason why I’m ok with their decision not to be in the 2016 edition is the fact that it would be hypocritical since the reason they took themselves out of the contest hasn’t been resolved (yet). Hopefully, someday…
Not surprised after Turkish election that they decided not to participate
I do not really care personally…And i’m not gonna miss them..
After all these years that Turkey has been staying away from our EuroVision i have already forgot how it feels of having them in the contest..
I guess that will possibly gonna see Turkey returning next year…Or the year after…Or whatever.. :P
