And why is that?
THAT is when the idea is debatable. Because they have such close history with what they define as europe and have part of their territory within the defined land borders. How Azerbaizan and Armenia qualify god knows. If Lebanon and Syria don't qualify regardless of their desires, then neither should be Israel.
Lebanon is allowed to participate. They don't, probably because it's too expensive and not worth it for them.
Then what is the qualification criteria? How white the country is? How close to a 'normal' european you look?
EDIT: No, you know what? I don't care. This is getting stupid for me. Not that eurovision is stupid, it is stupid because I don't even care about this, why am I getting so invested in this?
Being a member of European Broadcasting Union is the qualification criteria
Thank you. I won't ask what the qualifications are for joining the European Broadcasting Union. Because I don't care about this topic. I might a little, but it's better for me to not to. Thank you for informing me.
Nah, Eurovision should invite Canada like we did with Australia. But Canada doesn't care.
