The XVI BRICS summit of heads of state in Kazan on October 22-24 was a grand international event, in which the representatives of 36 states and 6 international organisations took place. Türkiye has submitted an application to join.

The recent terrorist attack on October 23 at the Terrorist Aerospace Industries headquarters in Turkey, which killed five and injured 22, has raised international concerns and stirred suspicions about foreign involvement, notably Western powers.
