High-Level Iraqi Delegation Heads to Turkey to Address Water Crisis and Secure Tigris and Euphrates Shares

The Iraqi government is preparing to send a negotiating delegation comprising representatives from the ministries of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Environment, along with specialized experts, to Turkey next month to discuss the water crisis and secure Iraq's fair shares from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These moves come in response to environmental warnings about the repercussions of an unprecedented decline in water revenues, which has led to the drying up of the marshes and damage to vast agricultural areas, threatening food security and drinking water sources. The delegation aims to conclude a legally binding agreement in accordance with international norms and establish joint technical committees to ensure the sustainability of water resources for both countries.
