History

On 23 September 2015 it was confirmed that the Kumyks would make their official Turkvision Song Contest début at the 2015 contest to be held in Istanbul, Turkey.[1] However, on 17 December it was announced that Kumyk would not debut at the contest due to the current state of international relations between the Russian Federation and Turkey. Despite this Kumyk did select Gulmira, Fatima and Kamilya with the song "Alğa!" to represent them in 2015.

The Kumyks had selected Daniyal Harunow as their artist in 2016 before the contest's cancellation.[2]
