Iraq (sometimes presented as Iraqi Turkmens) has participated in the Turkvision Song Contest twice since its debut in 2013. The Iraqi broadcaster, Türkmeneli TV, has been the organiser for the Iraqi entry since its debut. In 2013, Iraq's first entry at Turkvision, Ahmed Duzlu, failed to qualify from the semi-finals.
Iraq made their debut in the Turkvision Song Contest at the 2013 festival, in Eskişehir, Turkey. Iraq were represented by Ahmed Duzlu with the song “Kerkük’ten Yola Çıkak”, Iraq performed ninth in the semi final but failed to qualify for the final.
On 20 July 2014 it was announced that Iraq would make their second appearance at the Turkvision Song Contest 2014 to be held in Kazan, Tatarstan in November 2014. In 2014 Iraq once again selected Ahmed Duzlu to represent them in the contest, in Kazan he performed "Çal Kalbimi". Iraq performed nineteenth in the semi final and finished eighteenth with 155 points and so did not qualify for the final.
