It's not in Turkey's interests to join BRICS. If this news is true than India did us a great favor
Thanks India.
Exactly. Some here keep forgetting Turkey is a full member of NATO.
Having both NATO and BRICS membership is a bit odd - n'est ce pas?
By the way - not that it is relevant any more, but India also rejected the Bangladesh bid, when Hasina was at the helm and was a "friend of India".
In August 2023 - More than 40 countries had expressed interest in joining BRICS, of them 23 formally applied to join the bloc, which together account for about a quarter of the global economy and 41.9% of the world’s population.
Make your own conclusions.
There are other countries involved in BRICS besides India, which we should also remember for this discussion. Although some say India's influence in BRICS is on the wane.

India’s Influence in BRICS Is Waning
If New Delhi did indeed resist expansion efforts that could turn the bloc into a club of nations aligned against the West, it was unsuccessful.
