History[edit]
2013[edit]

2014[edit]
On 20 July 2014 it was announced that Northern Cyprus would make their second appearance at the Turkvision Song Contest 2014 to be held in Kazan, Tatarstan in November 2014.[2] It was announced on 19 September, that Northern Cyprus would hold their selection final on 19 October 2014.[3] A total of four singers were selected to participate in the final, the result of the final were as follows:
| Artist | Title | English translation | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fikri Can Kayıkçı | Ağlarsan Düşerim | If I fall you cry | |
| Güler Soybir & İlhan Alihan | |||
| İpek Amber | Sessiz Gidiş | Silent Leaving | 1 |
| Simge Barut |
The country of Northern Cyprus had initially selected İpek Amber to represent them at the Turkvision Song Contest 2014, with the song "Sessiz gidiş" (Silent leaving).[4] But it was later announced that it was highly likely they would have to withdraw due to political technicalities. The singer was to enter Tatarstan using a Northern Cypriot passport. However, due to the Cyprus dispute, the International recognition of Northern Cyprus as a self-declared state is not recognised by Russia, thus denying entry into Tatarstan, a federal subject of Russia.[5]
