Turkey

Turkey has participated in the Asiavision Song Contest twice since its debut in the first edition. The country's best result is 2nd in the Grand Final which it achieved in 2020. The country hosted the first ever edition of the Asiavision Song Contest in 2019 in the transcontinental city of İstanbul, in an attempt to bridge the European contest of Eurovision with the new Asian spin-off contest of Asiavision. In 2020, due to Japan's withdrawal, it was announced that Turkey would join the 'Big 5', receiving automatic qualification.
