Turkey was reported to be the first and only NATO member asking to join the BRICS economic group of nations.

The move by Turkey ’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan , has been driven by “accumulated frustrations” with the West and the EU .

The economic grouping originally calling itself BRIC from the initials of its founding members Brazil , Russia , India , and China was initially concerned with identifying investment opportunities.

Erdogan said in April 2022 : "The only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism is the alliance of Islamic countries" He said Turkey ’s recent diplomatic moves to improve ties with Egypt and Syria would create a “line of solidarity against the growing threat of expansionism” Egypt is, of course, already a member of BRICS . At least 10 other countries are expressing interest in joining.
