Re: TURKEY 2017

I miss Turkey, but I don't think we will see Turkey in 2017. They are probably more interested in Turkvizyon

Turkvizyon is not the case for TRT. Eurovision recently is too European, in other words it promotes too much content related to homosexuality. Krista's lesbian kiss, Conchita herself, and so on. TRT will have troubles broadcasting all those homosexual things.

I doubt Turkey will ever return now. They've adopted the whole "Western world is bad" thing and they don't aspire to become truly european anymore. :/

Exactly. I think there is a 0% chance to see them in 2017 and a really, really tiny one to see Turkey back in game in the near future. xshrug

They are trying to speed up EU accession talks tbh, I think it's more of a case of their right-wing government. When that goes, maybe we'll get to see Turkey returning.

Eurovision'a toyalmadım.

Come on TRT! For the sake of Jamala :D. After Jamala wins with a song that has Crimean Turkish -or Crimean Tatar- parts, people on twitter were like:

Well, it's not even broadcasted in Turkey but we love the contest. I just really miss it.

Anyway, I will not be hopeful. So I won't be disappointed.

Re: TURKEY 2017

That government sucks. They want people to be asleep on the evilness and corruption they brought but they don't broadcast Eurovision?????????????

Come on, let's do it once again before ISIS kills us. For the sake of the only song we totally understood in 2016.

Re: TURKEY 2017

Even if Turkey returns, sadly I have to say that I predict TRT would bring more politics to the contest. The old Turkey wouldn't but it is not the same nowadays.

Re: TURKEY 2017

Betting operators should make it possible to bet a Turkey's presence at Eurovision 2017. They would earn a lot of money, because of people's naivety :p

Re: TURKEY 2017

As much as I miss them in Eurovision I highly doubt they will come back. Wasn't the juries one of the reasons they backed out the competition?

Re: TURKEY 2017

^Officially yes, but I guess the real reasons are: naked bodies, lgbt etc. They do not want to screen it.

Re: TURKEY 2017

LGBT is not new in Eurovision. This was never a reason to back out before. Also naked bodies? Come on man! Cause everybody is covered op on Turkish television? (ಥ﹏ಥ) There is only one reason why we don't participate and that is because our beloved Erdogan does not want to see us participate or take part in anything which will make us feel European or feel close to Europe. That's probably the only reason, sure having no naked people, bearded ladies or kissing lesbians is a plus but not anything more than that. Don't make things sound worse than they are :') I do think Turkey will participate this year. And Turkvizyon is the biggest fail ever.
