Turkey’s leader claims Eurovision Song Contest is a threat to family values
Turkey’s president has taken a swipe at the Eurovision Song Contest, accusing the annual event of encouraging “gender neutralisation” and threatening the traditional family.
In a speech following a Cabinet meeting, Recep Tayyip Erdogan described participants at the contest as the “Trojan horses of social corruption” and said his government was right to keep Turkey out of the pan-European pop competition since 2012.
