Having got nowhere at the Eurovision Song Contest, Turkey has withdrawn from it and the State Broadcaster TRT has set up the alternative called "Turkvision", in which some 20 countries with turkic minorities will participate later this year.
There is no reference to an entry from everyone's favourite Occupied Areas of "trnc" mentioned.

......Avcı, however, stressed that the contest was not, as many suggested, an alternative to the European version organized since 1956, but intended to be within the scope of the Turkic world cultural capital events.
Apparently the “trnc” did not apply as they don’t believe they belong to the “Turkic world”.
