Why this petition matters

Started by Eurovision Turkey

Armenia and France are allowed to participate with a song which includes political things despite of the fact that it's against the rules.

A quote from EBU Eurovision 2015 Rules; 

"The lyrics and/or performance of the songs shall not bring the Shows, the ESC as such or the EBU into disrepute. No lyrics, speeches, gestures of a political or similar nature shall be permitted during the ESC. No swearing or other unacceptable language shall be allowed in the lyrics or in the performances of the songs. No messages promoting any organization, institution, political cause or other, company, brand, products or services shall be allowed in the Shows and within any official ESC premises (i.e. at the venue, the Eurovision village, the Press Centre, etc.). A breach of this rule may result in disqualification."

According to the rules, both of the songs are completely against the rules.

There are some rumours about the French song, they say that the song is about the first world war. We don't want to put our oar in some people's educational knowledge, but this makes no sense to participate with a song about the first world war, in the 101st year of the first world war. If France really wanted to participate with a song about the first world war, they would participate with it in the 100th year of the war, not in the 101st year. Everyone knows that the song is about Armenians in 1915. France accepted Armenian immigrants from Ottoman Empire in the first world war. Also every year, in Paris, there are so many slogans about 1915 events in the date of the 'genocide'. 

Furthermore, we want to show the truth about Armenia's group "Genealogy". Genealogy means family tree. Group Genealogy (includes 6 representatives who have Armenian origins from around the world) will represent Armenia with the song "Don't Deny". Have you ever wondered what is this about? Let's see what is this about. Turkey always denies the Armenian genocide, Turkey opened its archives about 1915 events to all historians, Turkey wanted to take this problem to international court, but Armenia didn't want to do this in contrary, they said that Turkey must give some clays, so much of money and many more. Anyway, these history lessons are enough to understand the Armenian song.

So, Turkey denies the Armenian genocide and Armenia wants to say "Don't Deny" in the 100th year of this event.

As you see, both of Armenian and French songs are completely against the rules. That's why EBU should disqualify Armenia and France from the contest. If Armenia and France take place with these songs in Vienna, Eurovision will lose many audiences and fans from Turkey. In addition to this, TRT probably will not participate next year's contest because no country would like to see a song that against it.

EBU, implement the rules!
