Turkey began to achieve successful results only since 1997 , when Shebnem Packer with the song “ Dinle ” took 3rd place. In 2003, Turkey won after 28 years of participation in the competition. Sertab Erener brought victory with the song “ Everyway That I Can .” 4th place was taken in 2004 by Athena rock band , in 2007 Kenan Doulou and Hadith achieved the same result in 2009. Turkey won second place in 2010, when the new metal band maNga performed from it.
In 2011, Turkey for the first time since participation did not qualify for the final of the competition, and took only 13th place in the semifinals.
On December 14, 2012, the local TRT channel officially announced Turkey’s withdrawal from the 2013 contest. The main reason is dissatisfaction with the existing voting system and the status of the Big Five countries. The country did not return to the competition the following year, and on May 14, 2014, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Turkish parliament, Volkan Bozkir, was said that Turkey will no longer participate in Eurovision.
On February 7, 2015, Turkey expressed a desire to return to the 2016 competition. [1] The country has boycotted the contest since 2013 . Turkey confirmed participation, but on October 2, TRT announced that a decision to return the country to the competition has not yet been made. [2] On November 3, it was announced that Turkey would not return to the competition in 2016. [3]
For 33 years of participation in the final, Turkey received 1995 points, and in the semi-final - 790 points.
