​Turkey Seeks Membership in BRICS

On 3rd September 2024, Turkey announced that it has officially applied to join BRICS, a coalition of emerging economies, marking a significant move as it navigates its stalled EU accession talks.

Implications for Relations with EU

  • If Turkey joins BRICS, it may signal a shift away from its EU accession efforts, potentially diminishing its chances of benefiting from the EU's single market.
  • The EU expects candidate countries to adhere to EU values, which may conflict with Turkey's new direction.
  • There are fears that Turkey's accession to BRICS could strengthen ties with non-Western nations, particularly Russia, and disrupt the strategic balance.
