why not, they won they are going to host the competition. and as usual they will make some documentaries about it in Europe. not sure about how it is in Turkey though...

in Norway for example they had several documentaries about music in German culture and stuff like that. heck some newspapers even started writing about Azerbaijan and what kind of a country it is.
