28 OCTOBER 2024

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia. As Türkiye's geopolitical positioning requires a balanced perspective in global politics, Türkiye aims to become the first NATO member to join the BRICS club. The three-day summit included longtime members Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with recent additions Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. In the aftermath of the summit, Türkiye’s bid to join BRICS was rumored to have been vetoed by India due to Türkiye's close ties with Pakistan. Indian authorities promptly refuted these claims.

Türkiye's Nuclear Potential
14 OCTOBER 2024

As the Middle East edges closer to a full-blown regional war, there are growing fears that Israel may target Iran's nuclear facilities in response to Tehran's recent missile attacks. As global politics revolve around Israel's potential response, analysts warn that an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites could lead Iran to pursue an atomic bomb. With Saudi Arabia warning that it would also develop nuclear arms if Iran does so, these developments prompt Türkiye to reconsider its nuclear policy. Türkiye currently hosts approximately 50 U.S. tactical nuclear weapons at Incirlik Air Base as part of NATO’s nuclear umbrella and is one of five NATO members to host US nuclear bombs.

Türkiye-OTS Relations
7 OCTOBER 2024

As the global race for influence in Central Asia heats up, Turkiye is positioning itself as a key player in a region long dominated by Russia and China. Relying on historical, linguistic, and cultural bonds, Ankara taps the region's vast energy reserves and growing demand for infrastructure. Turkey already has a $10 billion bilateral trade target with Kazakhstan, and Turkish companies' investments in Uzbekistan exceed $1.5 billion in revenue. Furthermore, a Kyrgyz-Turkish investment fund is set up to finance large infrastructure projects in Kyrgyzstan. Economic integration across Central Asia is expected to expand through the newly established Turkic Investment Fund by OTS, the Organization of Turkic States.
