BRICS countries, said,“Turkey has submitted its full membership
application. We will evaluate it.”
President Erdogan is going to the top
President Tayyip Erdoğan will also attend the BRICS Summit in
Kazan in October. In a statement from presidential sources, it was
noted that Erdoğan will be at the summit on October 22-24. Speaking
to reporters at a press conference yesterday, AK Party Spokesperson
Ömer Çelik said,“Our President has repeatedly stated that we want
to become a member of BRICS.”
It will be the first NATO country
If Ankara is accepted as a member, Turkiye will be the first
NATO member in the BRICS group. Azerbaijan recently officially
applied for membership in BRICS after Russian President Vladimir
Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met in Baku. BRICS,
which is formed by the initials of the five largest developing
world countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is
an organization that emerged as an alternative to the West's
one-sided economic cooperation and aims for both economic and
cultural cooperation among member countries.
