BREAKING NEWS: What do Turkish diplomatic sources say about the “Asteromáta” issue?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The discussion continues in Turkey regarding Greece’s song titled “Asteromata” for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, and the possible “hidden” message the song may contain regarding the Genocide of the Pontic Greeks, something that has never been mentioned by the Greek representative Clavdia.

Turkish diplomatic sources now appear to be involved in the discussion surrounding Greece’s participation in Eurovision 2025, following the news that Turkey’s public broadcaster, TRT, is going to examine the lyrics of Asteromáta, and take appropriate action if anything objectionable arises according to its judgment.

Diplomatic sources in the neighbouring country seem to have stated the following, regarding the possibility that the Greek song may refer to the Genocide of the Pontic Greeks:

“What the Pontic Greeks experienced cannot be characterized as genocide,” they said, adding that according to the 1948 Genocide Convention, these events are not genocide, and we cannot allow historical distortions.”

The Pontic Genocide refers to the mass killings and forced displacement of Pontic Greeks by the Ottoman Empire between 1914 and 1922, as part of a wider campaign against Christian minorities. While Greece, Armenia and several other countries officially recognize these events as genocide, Turkey denies that genocide took place, claiming that the deaths were part of the general chaos of World War I.

Eurovision Fun is closely following developments surrounding Turkey’s displeasure over the Greek participation and will keep you updated with more articles.

Andorra: Are they returning in Eurovision 2026?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rumors about the return of the Principality of Andorra to the Eurovision Song Contest are starting again.

TV3, the main television channel of the Catalan broadcaster CCMA, appears to be in talks with Andorra’s state broadcaster, RTVA, for the small Pyrenean principality to return to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026.

Entertainment executives traveled to Andorra to discuss the possibility of the winner of Eufòria representing Andorra at Eurovision 2026. Eufòria is a Catalan music competition organized by TV3 since 2022, in which 16 singers compete for a music contract.

The Catalan broadcaster sought to become a full member of the European Broadcasting Union, as Catalonia considered competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. The Catalan broadcaster applied for membership in April 2019, but was rejected in July 2019, with the EBU stating:

“The EBU does not have, nor has it ever had, any regional station of a member state of the International Telecommunication Union or the Council of Europe as an independent member. EBU statutes do not offer this possibility.”

If the talks proceed, it would not be the first time that the two organizations have collaborated, as they had collaborated in 2004, in anticipation of Andorra’s Eurovision 2004 debut.

The last time Andorra participated was in 2009 with Susanne Georgi and the song “La teva decisión (Get a Life)”, but did not advance to the final, finishing in 15th place in the first semi-final with 8 points.

Martin Österdahl’s comment on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Martin Österdahl, the executive supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, made statements regarding the use of artificial intelligence.

Martin Österdahl said Eurovision should “become friends” with Artificial Intelligence, as the contest explores opportunities to use machine learning in live broadcast production.

Last year, the Junior Eurovision Song Contest made headlines when the artists’ pre-performance postcards featured very obvious uses of AI content creation.

The use of AI by Spanish broadcaster RTVE has divided fans, with many expressing concern on social media that this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Basel will also feature AI.

When asked by The Euro Trip whether RTVE’s AI techniques would be used again by this year’s Eurovision broadcaster SRG SSR, Österdahl ruled it out, saying: “Not in that way, no.”

In the same The Euro Trip podcast, Martin Österdahl was asked whether the use of AI is beneficial or not for Eurovision.

“The Eurovision Song Contest is sprung out of a ridge which is to celebrate and to move technological advances forward in a contest and a corporation which is very humane, based on human values. We just have to figure out how to make AI our friend. It’s not going to go away, we know that. I have three kids who are already using AI for different things. We have to figure out how to become friends with it and use it to the best of our advantage, and in line with the values that we have.”

The Co-Executive Producer of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest Reto Peritz has confirmed that he and his team are in dialogue with the EBU to protect the competition from destructive uses of artificial intelligence.

“This is part of the rules, or should be part of the rules. The host broadcaster is not involved in the rules – they’re made by the EBU and all the members of the EBU. Whatever the rules say, we will follow of course. At SRG – our broadcaster – we have very strict AI rules when it comes to news and magazines, and also for entertainment. We are discussing this with the EBU at the moment.”
