In this video we incorrectly referred to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the Indian "president" -- our apologies for the error and thanks for flagging!

NATO is military alliance, BRICS is a economic alliance. Don't mix them

[shortknowledge]

Turkey is not part of EU...
And Narendra Modi is not president he is PM...
What a news channel 😂😂😂

[ArichiKulukatoo]

Turkey is a candidate for the EU, yes, and has been so for 25 years now. Here's your answer 😊

[jasonmonge]

She said Turkey needs to share the same values as Western countries. What values, the ones that France is sharing in Africa?? 😂😂😂😂

[Freetourforyou]

First they said Brics was a joke and now they are worried more countries are joining them 😅
We will soon see the first EU countries applying to Join Brics soon 😅😂

Turkey has been prevented from joining the EU for decades. What do you want from them?

C'mon why so much sourness about Turkey wanting to join BRICS, EU is not giving them a green light afterall.

[IndiaTides]

Well, the club of G7 is closed for others.
They will open their own.

[Sr.Princip]

[created]

Looks like the USA is gonna do a coup in turkey....😂😂

[dingyiyu]

Oh since eu does not welcome Turkey, why blame them for seeking another route?

[ankpms]

Turkey doesn't to waste thier time with wastern allies anymore...

[morbidangel]

Turkiye already submit their application form. That is the why they terrorized Ankara to cancel its application.😂😂

[mktoracle]

The statement that "BRICS is often described as a tool for Russian and Chinese influence" is inaccurate. However, could NATO not be viewed as primarily serving US interests over European nations?

[nenadmilosevic]

Well for how long they are waiting for EU membership? Nobody should be surprised

[anonymoushuman]

This multipolar world is exactly what is required.

The world is on fire under the current regime… with a few colonial powers being able to do anything they want.

Enough is enough.

Playing both sides seems to be the best strategy these days.
