NATO membership is not an obstacle to joining BRICS, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
“From the point of view of BRICS and the main approaches of BRICS, there are no objections here,” the Kremlin representative said in a comment to NTV channel, answering a question about the possibility of Turkey becoming a member of the association.
Also, being in the EU will not be an obstacle to joining BRICS. Peskov noted that BRICS, in principle, does not set conditions for its participants and partners. “These are the conditions that they really like to set in NATO, in the EU - “either with the EU, or with Russia,” “either in BRICS, or in NATO.” But in BRICS no one says that, and this makes the organization even more attractive.” , he said.
