Turkeyās application to join BRICS reflects Erdoganās dissatisfaction with the West, aiming to strengthen ties with non-Western powers like Russia and China.
On September 2, Turkey was reported to be the first and only NATO member asking to join the BRICS economic group of nations. BRICS, headed by Russia, China, Iran, and South Africa, is dominated by the Russian and Chinese presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
One former Turkish diplomat told Newsweek that the move by Turkeyās president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been driven by āaccumulated frustrationsā with the West and the EU. Sinan Ulgen, head of the Istanbul-based think tank EDAM, said: āItās a strategy to strengthen relations with non-Western powers at a time when the US hegemony is waning.ā
The economic grouping originally calling itself BRIC from the initials of its founding members ā Brazil, Russia, India, and China ā was initially concerned with identifying investment opportunities for their fast-growing economies. They held their first meeting in 2006 and soon evolved into a formal geopolitical bloc.
