A dream of many Eurovision fans had came true, as Turkey had announced their return to Eurovision. They are not returning as Turkey but they are returning indirectly as San Marino, would send the Turkish singer, Serhat, to Stockholm. This might be different from the past few years this micro country, had been importing their entries from Italy since their debut in 2008, unfortunately San Marino would not be sending anything Italian anymore.
This country had participated in the contest for six times with the best result of landing in the 24th position of the grand final back in 2013 and special credits goes to Valentina Monetta, who had already became San Marino's hero. This is also not the first time for San Marino to not send Italian singers, as they sent Russian singer, Kamilla Ismailova, to the 2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. I must say that I am indeed dissapointed, as I really want to see Valentina Monetta back in the contest or maybe, San Marino's 2014 Junior Eurovision delegation in the adult contest, like their band member Anita Simoncini, who sung the 'Chain Of Lights' in Vienna bac in 2015, with the 2013 Junior Eurovision delegatiom, Michele Perniola.
I don't have much to say about this but I hope that San Marino could do well and it is indeed a great thing to know, that Turkey is taking part. I must say that I didn't predicted any Turkish singers to fly the San Marinese flag but things can't go the way I want to, so who knows that San Marino might do well. Well, good luck Serhat and see you in Stockholm!!!
