10. Eurovision Şarkı Yarışması Türkiye Finali

[edit]

Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu (TRT) held the national final on 15 March 1986 at the Ari TV studios in Ankara, hosted by Erkan Yolaç. Four songs competed and the winner was determined by a sixteen-member jury. As there was a tie at the end of the voting, the head of the jury ended up having his vote counted twice, resulting in the victory of "Halley" performed by the quintet Klips ve Onlar (Sevingül Bahadır, Gür Akad, Emre Tukur, Derya Bozkurt and Seden Kutlubay).[1] [2]
