Turkey and Mesopotamian waters overview
The water issue between Turkey, Iraq, and Syria has returned to the forefront following the floods at the beginning of June and the increased flow of the Euphrates River due to rainfall, amid ongoing deterioration of conditions caused by years of drought. Ankara insists on its sovereignty over the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, while Baghdad and Damascus demand the fair sharing of water resources according to international agreements. They also accuse Turkey of using water as a tool for political and security pressure. Turkey faces environmental challenges, including desertification, worsening drought, and forest fires—around 3,000 fires occurred last summer—while its response to these crises remains weak.
