On Sunday, the Ministry of Water Resources revealed new details regarding a memorandum of understanding with Turkey regarding the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
A ministry statement quoted the Minister of Water Resources, Mahdi Rashid Al-Hamdani, as saying that his "recent visit to Turkey resulted in the Turkish President's ratification of the memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries,
which Al-Kazemi's government succeeded in activating,
which includes the commitment of neighboring Turkey to release fair and equitable waters for Iraq to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers."
According to the statement, Al-Hamdani thanked the Turkish President's Special Envoy for Water Affairs, Faisal Oroglu, for responding quickly to Iraq's request to activate the memorandum of understanding between the two countries.
