TRT, the Turkish broadcaster, has officially launched Turkvision, a song contest for the Turkic-speaking countries, 20 countries including autonomous regions like the Republic of Tatarstan which is a part of Russia, and the Republic of Crimea which is a part of Ukraine are joining the contest.
The program officially launched on September 21 in Eskişehir by the Turkish education minister Nabi Avci and attended by The Eurovision 2011 winner from Azerbaijan, Ell and Nikki.
According to the Dogan News Agency, the minister “stressed that the contest was not, as many suggested, an alternative to the European version organized since 1956."
“Turkvision does not need to be compared to Eurovision. It will have its place in the Turkic world with its own brand value. Whether we participate or not in Eurovision, I hope that Turkvision will move forward in its own path, growing and expanding year-by-year,” Avci said.
“This project is part of the Turkic world cultural capital event. Hopefully, the next towns selected as the ’cultural capitals’ will pursue the event,” he said.
The semi-finals for the 20 participating countries are between December 19 and December 21, while the final for the 12 participating countries is on December 23.

Hope it'll be as great as Eurovision, or greater, and i hope no political votings between them, just vote for the music
