Omer Celik, spokesperson for President Erdogan, confirmed Turkey's application to join BRICS, stating, "Our request is clear, and the process is proceeding within this framework."
Russian President Putin expressed strong support for Turkey's aspiration to join BRICS, emphasizing that he would 'fully support' Turkey's inclusion in the gathering.
Turkey's potential BRICS membership could signal a shift away from EU alignment, as EU spokesperson Peter Stano highlighted that candidate countries must share EU values.
Stano remarked on the strategic orientation of countries in relation to the EU, saying, 'These are significant signals of shared values and interests.'
