TRT, the Turkish national broadcaster, have resumed conversations with the European Broadcasting Union, in regards to a potential return to the Eurovision Song Contest. Ibrahim Eren, the Director General of TRT, told Turkish media outlet, Milliyet, the following:

“TRT took a decision a while ago regarding Eurovision. They said, that ‘without a change in the voting system, Turkey would not participate again’. The Board of Directors is still behind this decision but we are talking with “Eurovision” (EBU) again. They have a new, very good Executive Supervisor from North Europe. I think this year Eurovision was really successful. After many years they did a very good show. Our colleagues started talks with the new Executive Supervisor. I don’t know what will happen.”
