Türkiye is tired of waiting EU And looking for alternatives. Ankara applied to Bricsreceived the status of a partner and is waiting for an invitation. Europe is observing, but Türkiye is ready to change its geopolitical course.
For many years Ankara I tried to enter European Unionbut constantly stumbled upon closed doors. Brussels He explained this by the need to comply with democratic standards and protect human rights. However, the obvious truth is hidden behind this rhetoric: Turkey does not want to see in an elite club. And if one door is closed, then it is worth looking for another.
Foreign Minister of Turkey Hakan Fidan in an interview with Bloomberg TV on February 24, 2025 confirmed that Ankara is considering alternatives to EU membership, including Brics. This statement became a continuation of the processes that began back in 2024: in September, Turkey officially applied for joining BRICS, and in November, at the Summit of the G20 Foreign Affairs in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, which was held on November 18-19, 2024, it was proposed to become the Partner of Brics-a step that may lead to full membership.
Brics, the unification of rapidly developing economies, offers not only a place at the table, but also the opportunity to influence global processes. China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa – new participants have now added to them, and Türkiye is considering the possibility of joining. However, as Fidan noted, at the moment an invitation to become a full -fledged member of Brics has not yet been received.
Europe, of course, will observe. Her officials have already expressed doubts about the possible drift of Turkey towards the Eastern Unions. But Ankara no longer wants to stay on the sidelines, expecting mercy from the EU. She prefers to move forward – even in another direction.
If Brussels continues to waste time, Türkiye will not wait. She is already knocking on other doors, and it seems that some of them are ready to open.

The West is building financial empires, the East – lays the foundation for future generations. Some have a future and perspective, while others have the end of the financial model.
