We finally came to an end in the long term qualification section with the 8th heat in Milli Seçim Turu 2013. Nine competetors fought for the last ticket to final where we expected only one lucky name, however both Valeriya Hüseynzadə and Aysel Babayeva won the rights to be participating on the 14th of March.
The same procedure of the selection was followed by Elvin Babaşov, Valeriya Hüseynzadə, Seyran İsmayılxanov, Ayişəbəyim Nağıyeva, Orxan Kərimli, Aysel Babayeva, Üzeyir Quliyev, Ləman Dadaşova and Səid İsmayılzadə at the last heat this week. Orxan Kərimli might sound similar to Milli Seçim Turu fans as he participated at the selections last year where he succeded to win his heat and performed in the finals.
Though Üzeyir Quliyev has succesfully participated in the first four shows, he decided to withdraw and wasn’t placed on the scoreboard. The detailed schedule of the song selection procedure was:

- Tuesday: Azeri Music
- Wednesday: World Hits
