Minister of Water Resources, Aoun Diab, announced the intention to establish water harvesting dam projects and other strategic projects between the two countries in this vital field.
During the second meeting of the joint committee between Iraq and Turkey on water, which was held in Baghdad yesterday, Monday, Diab said: "The Prime Minister considers the issue of water the first and most important priority in the government program to bring about a qualitative shift in the file of water resources management in addition to the economic and commercial aspects between the two countries."
He explained, "There are projects prepared for implementation such as water harvesting dams and other strategic projects," indicating that "the southern regions suffer from a water scarcity crisis such as the irrigation projects of Amara and Shatt al-Gharraf in Nasiriyah," and pointed out that "climate changes - especially the summer months - clearly and significantly affect the water situation in the country and the countries of the region, especially with the increase in temperatures." He added, "The situation in the Tigris River is good, especially since this year was abundant in rainfall, but the situation is different in the Euphrates River, especially the Haditha Dam," expressing his "hope that there will be assistance from the Turkish side in this regard." He pointed out that "the meeting will discuss the outcomes of the Prime Minister's recent visit to Ankara and what was discussed with the Turkish President, and proceed with activating the provisions of the framework agreement regarding water and facing the challenges caused by rising temperatures and evaporation according to global indicators." He continued, "We have a number of projects that we look forward to implementing with the Turkish side to reach safety and overcome the scarcity crisis that the country and the region are going through; including water harvesting dams that we are working to put into service so that there is a fair distribution of the water share between the Iraqi governorates." The second meeting of the joint committee between Iraq and Turkey to develop cooperation on water was held in Baghdad yesterday, Monday, and the Iraqi side was represented in the meeting by Minister of Water Resources Aoun Diab Abdullah, while the Turkish side was represented by Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Peris Akinci. "The Turkish Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Energy, and the Minister of Irrigation and Forestry are paying great attention to the water resources file with the Iraqi side, especially after the meeting of the two presidents (Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan)," Akinci said in a speech during the meeting, indicating that "the Turkish side is interested in organizing these meetings between the two parties to reach the desired results." He added that "26 agreements were signed, including the water agreement," noting that "signing the agreement between the two presidents is an important shift in water resources, in addition to the existence of a strategic agreement on the water resources file with coordination and the establishment of supporting institutions for that." He continued: "We are working to sustain these meetings in order to improve water resources in Iraq, because the presence of water is important for both countries," stressing "the quest to improve water institutions in Iraq in order to better invest water within Iraqi territory." He pointed out that "the Turkish government attaches great importance to the framework agreement, as we are working to activate it in the best possible way," noting that "Turkey is determined to activate projects with Iraq, as our country has a long history in implementing dam and irrigation canal projects and producing various types of sprinklers."
