Iraq and Syria are being strangled by Turkey; the source of the two great rivers that have sustained civilisations for centuries. The once wet and lush basin of the Euphrates, which is shared by Turkey, Syria and Iraq is drying up at an alarming rate, creating acute water shortages for Syria and even worse for Iraq. Turkey contributes 90 per cent to the Euphrates whilst Syria contributes 10 per cent to the water flow that runs through Iraq, along with the Tigris and flows to the Shatt Al-Arab Basin in Southern Iraq. As for the Tigris, Turkey, Iraq and Iran contribute 40 per cent, 51 per cent and 9 per cent, respectively, according to climate-diplomacy.org.
