Turkey has shut off the flow of the great Euphrates River affecting Syria and Iraq
The Turkish government recently cut off the flow of the Euphrates River,
threatening primarily Syria but also Iraq with a major water crisis.
Al-Akhbar found out that the water level in Lake Assad has dropped by
about six meters, leaving millions of Syrians without drinking water.
Two
weeks ago, the Turkish government once again intervened in the Syrian
crisis. This time was different from anything it had attempted before
and the repercussions of which may bring unprecedented catastrophes onto
both Iraq and Syria.
Violating international norms, the Turkish
government recently cut off the water supply of the Euphrates River
completely. In fact, Ankara began to gradually reduce pumping Euphrates
water about a month and half ago, then cut if off completely two weeks
ago, according to information received by Al-Akhbar. http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/new-turkish-aggression-against-syria-ankara-suspends-pumping-euphrates%E2%80%99-water
