The TURKVISION Song Contest was launched by TMB TV which has been carrying out projects to strengthen ties among Turkic peoples through various cultural and artistic projects since its establishment.
It has become the symbol of peace, brotherhood and friendship among Turkic peoples.
Being a unique project the contest is aimed at preserving and strengthening ties of friendship among Turkic peoples by introducing their common music, culture, language, art and traditions to the world.
Last year, Azerbaijani singer Farid Hasanov won the first

Song Contest.
Young but talented Farid Hasanov won the contest's finale with 210
points after heartily performing the song "Yasha" (Live), composed
by GovharHasanzade, leaving behind 11 less successful singers.
