Kremlin: NATO country may join BRICS

Turkey, being a member of the North Atlantic alliance, may join the BRICS association, Kremlin's official representative Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with the NTV channel.

"From the point of view of BRICS and the main approaches of the organisation, there are no objections here," he said.

According to Mr. Peskov, cooperation within BRICS is attractive to many as no one has to deal with "either-or" ultimatums within the organisation. This is the type of conditions that one has to face within NATO and the European Union, he added.

Earlier, official representative of the ruling Turkish Justice and Development Party Omer Celik confirmed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would attend the BRICS summit. President Erdogan will attend the summit on October 23.
