History
Kyrgyzstan made their debut in the inaugural 2013 contest in Eskişehir, Turkey, with the song "Kaygırba" performed by Çoro. The song placed 8th in the final with 183 points, the country's worst result as of 2019.
Kyrgyzstani broadcaster KRTK has always organised a national final to select the country's entries. In 2013, the national final selected only the artist, but in 2014 and 2015, the national final selected both the artist and the song.[2][3][4]
Kyrgyzstan had confirmed their participation in the 2016 contest before its cancellation.[5]
As of 2019, Kyrgyzstan's only victory in the contest was in 2015, when the song "Kim bilet", performed by Jiideş İdirisova, won the contest in Istanbul, Turkey, with 194 points.[6]
