= 8. Eurovision Şarkı Yarışması Türkiye Finali
=Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu (TRT) held the national final on 25 February 1984 at its studios in Istanbul, hosted by Başak Doğru. Ten songs competed and the winner was determined by an expert jury.
According to the regulations the winner had to get at least 15 points. However at the end of the first voting no participant received the number of points required. Therefore a second round took place, with "Halay" performed by Beş Yıl Önce, On Yıl Sonra (which were ranked the third in the first voting) receiving the most points, and was thus determined as the winner. During the final, the group was accompanied by Arif Sağ, the renowned bağlama virtuoso.
