Baghdad: Huda Al-Azzawi
The statements made by the First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hakim Al-Zamili regarding the water file with Turkey and Iran, provoked mixed reactions, regarding his waving of legislation to criminalize economic and trade cooperation with the two countries if Ankara and Tehran continue their negative policy towards Iraq and cut off water supplies to the Euphrates, Tigris and their tributaries. About drought hit the country. Experts believed that the economic and trade paper could be used vis-à-vis the two countries that were wracked by international and European sanctions, while others believed that this paper could not be used at the present time for reasons related to the lack of industry or local agriculture that could substitute for Turkish and Iranian products.
The specialist in public international law, Professor Dr. Haider Kazem, pointed out that “there is an international law called the International Law of the Sea, which finds its basis in the 1997 United Nations Convention and among the most important principles contained in the said convention related to the issue of (the water between Iraq on the one hand, Turkey and Iran on the one hand, and Turkey and Iran on the other). On the other hand) is the principle of equitable and equitable use of international rivers for neighboring countries, which was articulated in Articles (5 and 6) of the aforementioned agreement, so Iraq must benefit from it.
He pointed out that "Turkey played a negative role and violated the aforementioned principle, when the (Ilisu) dam was established, which violated the principle of fair and equitable use of rivers and seas by blocking the passage of a lot of water and storing it in the aforementioned dam, so that what reaches Iraq from water releases. not enough to meet his needs; Especially if we mention the steady increase in the population of Iraq in recent times, in addition to being an agricultural country.”
He concluded his speech by saying: "Iraq can resort to international forums, foremost of which is the International Court of Justice, and present the file to it for decision."
For his part, a member of the Parliamentary Economy and Industry Committee, Soran Omar, told Al-Sabah: “Our industrial, agricultural and local production capacity has not reached the point where we do not need goods from neighboring countries. In addition, Turkish and Iranian products dominated the Iraqi market. including the Kurdistan region.
He pointed out that "the goods of the two countries, if in the current circumstance are cut off from Iraq for a week, there will be greater inflation and price increases, and a law cannot be enacted if we are not able to revive agriculture and industry in all revenues."
On the other hand, economic analyst Maytham Laibi said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “The trade exchange between the three countries mostly includes Iraqi imports from the Turkish and Iranian sides, and that preventing imports from them could lead to a shortage in the commodity supply, and a need Continuous domestic demand and the inability to meet it from local production, the obvious result is the rise in commodity prices and the decrease in the standard of living for Iraqi citizens, which will increase the suffering of the poor, especially with the rise in prices globally as a result of the Ukrainian crisis, and before that, raising the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, which could lead to Poverty is increasing in the country.
He explained that "there is more than one agreement signed for economic and trade cooperation between Iraq and these two countries, not to mention the failure to count the reactions from the Turkish and Iranian sides, such as stopping Iraqi exports, especially since a portion of Iraqi oil, for example, passes through Turkish ports."
