Turkey and Iraq have been discussing ways to boost their partnership
According
to recent news articles, Turkey and Iraq have been discussing ways to boost
their partnership and address issues related to water management and security.
The Turkish foreign minister visited Iraq this week, and the discussions
covered the enhancement of bilateral relations, economic cooperation, water
issues, counterterrorism efforts, and energy matters
A holistic approach that integrates the
questions of trade, energy, security, and water can best help assuage Iraq's
water needs in dealing with climate change
However,
there have been disputes over water resource management between Iraq and Turkey
in the past, with Iraq accusing Turkey of following a hidden hydro-politics
agenda and Turkey complaining that Iraq’s claims are legally unfounded since
the Euphrates and Tigris rivers originate from Turkish soil
Despite
these challenges, it seems that both countries are working towards finding
solutions to these issues and strengthening their partnership.
