"After we liberated our land from terrorist gangs, we are now exposed to a water war no less dangerous than a guerrilla war," he said. "It has destroyed the agriculture in our country after the river has dried up in several provinces."
He added that "the provinces of the center and the south suffer from water scarcity large and there are thousands of acres do not reach water, because of the lack of water and lack of commitment from some of the provinces located in the Euphrates and Tigris Euphrates, exceeding the quota of water, which adversely affected the provinces of the center and the south."
