In case anyone feared the Eurovision song contest had lost a little of its sequined lustre in the last years, then despair no more -- Turkey is coming back. Absent from the glitzy competition for the last three years, Turkey will rejoin the competition in its next-but-one edition in 2016, the country's public broadcaster said Friday. State-run Turkish Radio and Television (TRT) withdrew from Eurovision after the 2012 contest, citing low ratings and dissatisfaction with the voting rules. Turkey had harshly criticised the competition's current Big-5 ruling, which states that Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are guaranteed a place in the final, no matter how they performed the year before.
