ArmInfo.Turkey has formally asked to join BRICS. Bloomberg writes about this with reference to its sources. "Turkey has officially asked to join the BRICS group of emerging economies as it seeks to bolster its global influence and forge new ties beyond its traditional Western allies.
According to the administration of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the geopolitical center of gravity is shifting away from developed economies," Bloomberg sources noted on condition of anonymity. According to the agency's sources, this happened several months ago amidst the country's authorities' disappointment with the European Union (which Turkey has been unable to join for many years), and disagreements with NATO allies. To note that on August 18, Azerbaijan announced before Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Baku that the country had submitted an application to join BRICS.
