At Eurovision
On the night of the contest, Turkey performed 10th following Spain and preceding Greece. At the close of voting Turkey had received no points (or, as Eurovision fans refer to the phenomenon, nul points) placing Turkey last out of 22 entries.[1] At the time this was the worst last placing for a country as it was the largest contest. This was also the third time Turkey came last in the contest and the second time they had received zero points. This is the final contest to date in which Turkey finished last.[citation needed]
Voting
Turkey did not receive any points at the Eurovision Song Contest 1987.[2]
