Summary/Abstract: President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again declared his intent to join Turkey to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). Erdoğan's earlier announcements in 2012 and 2016 did not lead to membership in the organisation. The declaration aims to mobilise conservative-nationalist voters and serves as a diplomatic tool towards Russia and Western countries.
