Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) General Director İbrahim Eren stated that they are not considering to participate in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest as Turkey; showing the voting system and Conchita Wurst as reason. Wurst was the first-rank winner of 2014 Eurovision.
“I can’t show an Austrian, who was ranked first with his beard, skirt, not identifying himself in any gender, not accepting to be identified in any gender and saying ‘I am both man and woman at the same time’ on live broadcast, I can’t,” Eren said.
