epa10753906 Iraqi protesters hold up the Iraqi national flag and banners reading in Arabic 'If the Turkish government continues to make the Iraqis thirsty, we will go towards internationalizing the water issue and boycotting Turkish goods', during a protest near the Turkish embassy, at the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, Iraq, 18 July 2023. Hundreds of protesters demonstrated near the Turkish embbasy located inside the Green Zone to denounce Turkiye's water policy, which impacted Iraq's water share in the region and led to a drop in water levels in both the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources was expected the coming summer to be a difficult one for of Iraq, as a result of the decline in water flows from Turkey, as Iraq has greatly depleted water reserves during the past three years due to scarcity.
