Northern Cyprus

Northern Cyprus has participated in the Asiavision Song Contest twice since its debut in the first edition. The country's best result is 3rd in the Grand Final which it achieved in 2020. As Northern Cyprus is recognised by Turkey, the host country of the 2019 edition, the small disputed country was granted participation in the contest. In 2020, the host country of Palestine accepted the participation of Northern Cyprus as a symbol unity as both nations have had trouble becoming fully recognised internationally. However, in 2021, the host country of Vietnam rejected Turkish Cypriot participation.
