Erdogan vrea ca Turcia, membră a NATO, să adere la blocul de securitate condus de China și Rusia: „Nu înseamnă o ruptură de Occident”

Turkey is considering full membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), according to President Erdogan. While a NATO member, Turkey seeks stronger ties with major Asian powers like China and Russia. Erdogan emphasized that joining the SCO wouldn't mean distancing from the West. Turkey currently holds a dialogue partner status in the SCO, which includes countries like China, Russia, India, and Iran. The organization, founded in 2001, has expanded its agenda beyond security to include economic and technological cooperation. Erdogan's participation in the recent summit highlights Turkey's balancing act between Western alliances and growing ties with Asia.
