BAGHDAD - Iraq Water Resources Minister Abdul-Latif Jamal Rasheed has blamed Iran and Turkey for the country's growing water shortage and urged its neighbors to share more water with Baghdad.
He said both countries had built a large number of dams and reservoirs on the tributaries of Iraq’s two main rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates. He refused to say whether the two countries' water policies were politically motivated.
