"After Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina withdrew, TRT also announced that Turkey will not participate in next year’s contest.Unlike the other withdrawn countries, Turkey's reason is not financial. TRT stated that, this is a reaction to the injustice of the competition, like a "boycott". In the explanation they made, TRT claimed that the contest was unfair due to the latest rule in the voting system; the 50-50 combination of jury voting and televoting. It is thought that the involvement of jury had a downstream effect on Turkey's points. The broadcaster also finds the "big 5 direct qualifiers" unfair.Many Turkish Eurovision fans are however thinking the withdrawal has mostly to do with the latest rule change making the producer decide the running order of the participating songs. Something that can have a big influence on the winner."http://www.eurovisionary.com/eurovision-news/yet-another-shock-turkey-withdraws-eurovision-song-contest-2013Eurovision 2013: 39 countrieshttp://eurovisiontimes.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/eurovision-2013-39-countries/
