I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

I dunno. It may have been on the table at one point had they continued to work towards improving infrastructure and combating corruption. But once Erdogan turned autocrat, that door was closed.
