Turkey: Eurovision representative to be announced shortly

In a response to various speculations on the press and media, TRT, the Turkish broadcaster, denies all rumours about proposals having been made to various artists to represent the country in the next Eurovision Song Contest. The Turkish broadcaster is already working on next year's project and the name of the artist who will have the honour to represent Turkey in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest will be made known very soon.

In a press release following articles published in many local media, TRT states: "We have already started the process to select the best artist to represent Turkey. TRT extends invitations to artists after taking into consideration the opinions of TRT music experts. No proposals have been made so far to any artists for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest and the "news" reported on certain media is not true. It is damaging to the contest to publish such news about artists who are not even on TRT'S agenda".

The chosen artist will be announced in the next few weeks. After that, the Turkish candidate will be asked, same as it has happened in previous years, to submit three songs  for the broadcaster to choose from. In the past years, with the exception of 2004, the winning song was chosen internally by a TRT jury.

I don't like this system...Last year in Greece we have the hatable Sakis with his bad songs and his bad voice.It's better to have more singers with many songs instead...

I think these stupid comments aren't helping at all. I think everybody needs to stop commenting about Lina, Cyprus etc. One comment tends to trigger off more comments and everything just gets out of control! :S So hopefully if nobody comments, we will have peace :) So please, stop commenting! :D


disgusting disgusting disgusting
and nobody can stop me from voicing my opinions when it comes to racist comments!!!!


This is discusting !!!

and just for the record i for one (like i said before) don't give a flying F... if people don't like the turkish entries i only react when racist people condone other racist comments made by shallow people which have nothing to do with the songs!!!

ESC Friends Excuse please, I want to say; Ladies first! @Orkhan First you started it! Not to do so please. Lina is quickly angered and feels, not worry ladies, please. Lina was arguing with another friend. Why did you issue involved? You did wrong.
And not to discuss politics! We can to opine here for ESC. But not discussed. As a result, we are ESCfriends.

If i say REPUPLIC OF NAGORNO KARABAH FOR EVER " u r going to attack me also, but when Armenians and Azeri people fighting i never mencion anything about this subject ! I m very agry and i stop all that things but again @Orkhan came here to show how "clever" he is !

and btw only turks have nationalist nicknames here like you mr ozi with u r crescent and star ( is neccesary in one ESC site to have that things in u r nickname ;) and only turks have all muslim and turkey brother countries with in they r favory ESC countries ! What is that?Sorry but personal i m not stupid i understand a lot of things. ;) As for respect from greek cypriots to turkish cypriots... they have more than respect turks in cyprus than greeks and one small thing is that 90% of turkish cypriots have Cyprus repuplic passport and identity and everything who greek cypriots have, also turkish cypriots have they r houses and property in greek site and they have greek people houses and property in north site, u r 18% of the poppulation but we accept everything to be equal ( to the goverment "solution" ) byt u want more more more more more ! Turkey is not crazy to live from Cyprus since want Greek islands, part of northen greece, part of bulgaria, Armenia and part of Iraq. This is the new map in Turk schools ! Show all that places as turk land !

" @ Lina, I felt like people were ganging up on you so I tried to stop it " words words words ! U didnt tried to stop anything ! i ask u some things in my previous comments and u complete ignore me ! If u anser that things everything will resolve ! They attack me beacuse i mension one statistic! Can u realise that ?! From one innocent comment who i made ! As for that Ntektas fake countrey do u know very whell that never belong to turks ! U dont want solution ! What do u loose and u must want solution? U loose houses? u loose propertys? What do u loose? So if u see many monthis now i stop politics and i tried to be ok with everybody, but turks want everything to be on theyr way , if somebody like turkey song everybody like him/her, if somebody like turkey everybody like him/her , but if somebody dare to say " i dont like turkish song " OHH my God !

@ Lina, I felt like people were ganging up on you so I tried to stop it. But you need to stop this because you are taking it to far... When was the last time you actually made a comment about this article??

Also some of your comments are offensive... maybe its because you are upset maybe not.

what is KKTC ? Paper for toilet?
No it is not... and until you respect my people how would you expect us to be united?

And since u know only a little ( that was turks told u )
You make it sound as though Turks know nothing.

And if in future saw u to attack Armenians, Cypriots or Greeks i will not be neutral like the past
Are you neutral right now??

So watch how to react u and u r friends from now and on and dont forces the people here to get mad with u rs nationalists reactions
Lina I think you are also being nationalistic.

Atl least show some respect beacuse if u dont i will no respect nobody ! I hope i m clear
You also need to show respect to people.

everybody can see how the turks and Azerbaijan people forces me to get agry ! @Orkhan what is KKTC ? Paper for toilet? And since u know only a little ( that was turks told u ) why u speak here? I know about Karabah a little but when u fight with Armenians i dont speak beacuse i dont know both positions places in that subject ! ESCtoday is full of Turk Nationalists and with they r supporters from brother nations and if somebody say something that they dont like it a wor is start between 1 person and 100 turks, and if u have the guts whrite in english and not in Turkish language . u afraid something? And if in future saw u to attack Armenians, Cypriots or Greeks i will not be neutral like the past, u got me? ;) So watch how to react u and u r friends from now and on and dont forces the people here to get mad with u rs nationalists reactions . Atl least show some respect beacuse if u dont i will no respect nobody ! I hope i m clear. :D
