History

2013

Tatarstan made their début in the Turkvision Song Contest at the 2013 festival, in Eskişehir, Turkey.[1] It was announced on October 19, 2013 that Tatarstan would hold a televised selection for Turkvizyon with the final taking place on 21 November 2014.[2] On 8 November 2013, the 20 artists taking part in the contest were announced,[3] Alinä Şäripcanova won the selection with the song "Üpkälämim" (Үпкәләмим).[4]

2015

Tatarstan did not participate in the 2015 contest due to the state of Russia–Turkey relations.[5] Before withdrawing from the contest, Tatarstan had selected the song "Siña kaytam", performed by Yamle, as their entry for the contest in a national final.[6]
