INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Shafaq News / The Turkish ambassador to Baghdad, Ali Riza Gunay, held Iraq responsible for the drought crisis it is going through. Guney
said in a series of tweets that water is being wasted in Iraq, and serious measures must be taken in this regard, "solving the water crisis
cannot be done through asking for more water, but through using it wisely, and we are ready to help."He added that Ankara is ready to help
Iraq implement infrastructure investments, noting that the whole region suffers from a drought crisis due to climate change, noting that the
situation might deteriorate in the coming years. Guney denied claims that Turkey has changed the course of the rivers it shares with
Iraq. Iraq suffers from a severe drought crisis due to climate change, as well as the upstream countries' (Turkey and Iran) blocking and
reducing of Iraq's share of water, along with climate change.
