Tuhi i te haere tonu mo tenei irava - I te 2 o Hui-tanguru 2016, i kii te kaiwhakarato pouaka whakaata Kariki a Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) ka kowhiria e raatau te mahi me te waiata i roto i a raatau. Koinei te wa tuatahi mai i te tau 2004 kaore a Kariki i whakamahi i tetahi whakamutunga a-motu hei whiriwhiri i ta raatau kaitoi me / te waiata ranei. I te 9 o Hui-tanguru 2016, i tukuna e ERT he panui panui i whakapumautia ai te roopu Argo (i mohiotia i mua ko Europond) hei kaihoko Kariki mo te whakataetae 2016. Mo te urunga, ko te kaiwhakahaere o ERT a Dionisis Tsaknis i kii: "He kaha te waiata o te iwi me nga reo Balkan, engari kaore i te huarahi tuku iho. He waiata whakaongaonga i te reo Kariki, e kawe mai ana i te tuakiri o te whenua ki te whakataetae. Ka kōrero ngā kupu o te waiata ki te raru rerenga
me ngā raruraru pūtea e pā ana ki a mātou, engari he tino harikoa, he harikoa hoki te waiata".
