Turkey Moves Beyond NATO, Makes Historic Bid to Join BRICS | Times Now World

Turkey has formally applied to join the BRICS group, a move that underscores its ambition to enhance global influence and forge new alliances beyond traditional Western partners. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized the need for Turkey to balance its relations with both East and West, stating that any other strategy would harm the country. Turkey’s bid to join BRICS is driven by frustrations with stalled EU membership talks and growing rifts with NATO members. The move could grant Turkey access to financing through BRICS’s New Development Bank and strengthen its political and trade relationships. As BRICS considers further expansion, Turkey’s application will be discussed at the upcoming Kazan summit, alongside other interested nations. #turkey #Brics #NATO #EU #erdaogan #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
