The country of Northern Cyprus had initially selected İpek Amber to represent them at the Turkvision Song Contest 2014, with the song "Sessiz gidiş" (Silent leaving). [4] But it was later announced that it was highly likely they would have to withdraw due to political technicalities. The singer was to enter Tatarstan using a Northern Cypriot passport. However, due to the Cyprus dispute, the International recognition of Northern Cyprus as a self-declared state is not recognised by Russia, thus denying entry into Tatarstan, a federal subject of Russia.
