The participation of Crimea in the Bala Turkvision Song Contest was originally planned to begin in Istanbul, Turkey, at the inaugural Bala Turkvision Song Contest in 2015. TRK Millet [ru] (TRKM) was responsible for the selection process of their participant, for their debut in 2015. Aliye Bekirova was selected as Crimea's first representative for the Bala Turkvision Song Contest 2015, with the song "Amanım yarım". However, they were forced to withdraw from the contest on 30 November 2015, due to the Russia–Turkey relations in the aftermath of the 2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown near the Syria–Turkey border on 24 November 2015. Crimea confirmed their participation for the Bala Turkvision Song Contest 2016, and had selected Regina Vosika as their representative. However, this was subsequently cancelled alongside the Turkvision Song Contest 2016 due to the December 2016 Istanbul bombings.

Origins of the contest[edit]

Bala Turkvision is an annual song contest. Based on the similar format of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, Bala Turkvision focuses primarily on participating Turkic countries and regions. A juror from each nation awards between 1 and 10 points for every entry, except their own. In the Grand Final the jury determines the winner. Unlike the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in which the winning country proceeds to host the following year's event, hosting of the Bala Turkvision Song Contest takes place in the country or region that is also hosting the Turkish Capital of Culture.[1]
