Final[]
The 10 competing entries are all qualifiers for the final.
In the final, there are 270 available points. Firstly, 5 Turkish musicians will rank the songs with a style of 12-10-8-6-4-2-1. All points will be added up and divided by 2, to make us 108 points, 40% of the total votes. Also, viewers at home will be able to support their favourite acts, and all SMSs will be adjusted so that they make 162 points overall, 60% of the available votes. The song collecting the most votes wins the selection and represents Turkey in TBA.
The above system was the original idea, however, due to internal difficulties, the delegation only took televotes into account. Despite the fact that the full official results were never announced, it was announced that "Dan Dan" was the winner, with a massive lead over the rest songs. "Kibir" represented the country in the OGAE Second Chance 07 contest though.
