Azerbaijan wants to join BRICS, the issue is being worked out. This was stated by the Ambassador of the Republic in Russia Polad Bulbul oglu.
"There is a big queue of people who want to join the BRICS. Azerbaijan has indeed expressed such a desire. We talked about it with our Russian colleagues, but this is also a process and a matter of work," Bulbul oglu said in an interview with TASS on the eve of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Baku.
This is how he answered the question of whether Baku has officially applied to join the bloc.
Bulbul oglu also said that he was leaving the post of Azerbaijani ambassador to Moscow, which he held for 18.5 years.
"[Now] it would be more correct for me to represent my native Shusha, the inhabitants of the region, in parliament. I really hope that I will be elected... the first deputy after the liberation of Karabakh," he said.
Recall that on January 1, 2024, Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia joined the BRICS, which included Brazil, Russia, India and China, and South Africa, South Africa, which became full members of the group. In 2024, Russia is chairing the BRICS, and the organization's summit will be held in Kazan from October 22 to 24.
