صَوَّتَ مَجْلِسُ الْوُزَرَاءِ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، مَسَاءَ السَّبْتِ الْخَامِسِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ تَمُّوزَ ٢٠٢٦، عَلَى تَفْعِيلِ اتِّفَاقٍ إِطَارِيٍّ مَعَ تُرْكِيَا فِي مَجَالِ الْمِيَاهِ. وَقَرَّرَ الْمَجْلِسُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ آلِيَّةُ تَمْوِيلِ الْمَشَارِيعِ حَيِّزَ التَّنْفِيذِ فِي الْأَوَّلِ مِنْ أَيْلُولَ ٢٠٢٦.
تَسْمَحُ الْآلِيَّةُ لِلْجِهَاتِ الْحُكُومِيَّةِ الْعِرَاقِيَّةِ بِاخْتِيَارِ الْمَشَارِيعِ الَّتِي يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهَا قِطَاعُ الْمِيَاهِ. وَبَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، تُعْلَنُ هٰذِهِ الْمَشَارِيعُ لِتَتَنَافَسَ عَلَيْهَا شَرِكَاتٌ تُرْكِيَّةٌ مُؤَهَّلَةٌ. وَتَنْصُّ الْآلِيَّةُ أَيْضًا عَلَى مُشَارَكَةِ شَرِكَاتٍ عِرَاقِيَّةٍ مُؤَهَّلَةٍ فِي التَّنْفِيذِ.
يُعَدُّ الْمَاءُ مَلَفًّا مُهِمًّا فِي الْعَلَاقَاتِ بَيْنَ الْعِرَاقِ وَتُرْكِيَا، لِأَنَّ نَهْرَيِ دِجْلَةَ وَالْفُرَاتِ يَجْرِيَانِ مِنْ تُرْكِيَا نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ. وَيُوَاجِهُ الْعِرَاقُ نَقْصًا فِي الْمِيَاهِ بِسَبَبِ الْجَفَافِ وَتَرَاجُعِ كَمِّيَّاتِ الْمِيَاهِ. وَتَأْمُلُ الْحُكُومَةُ أَنْ تُسَاعِدَ الْمَشَارِيعُ الْجَدِيدَةُ عَلَى تَحْسِينِ شَبَكَاتِ الرَّيِّ وَالْمَنْشَآتِ الْمَائِيَّةِ، وَعَلَى إِدَارَةِ الْمَوَارِدِ بِصُورَةٍ أَفْضَلَ.

Iraq Activates Agreement with Türkiye for Water Projects
On the evening of Saturday, July 25, 2026, Iraq’s Council of Ministers voted to activate a framework agreement with Türkiye in the field of water. The council decided that the project-financing mechanism would enter into force on September 1, 2026.
The mechanism allows Iraqi government bodies to select projects needed by the water sector. These projects will then be announced so that qualified Turkish companies can compete for them. The mechanism also provides for qualified Iraqi companies to participate in implementation.
Water is an important issue in relations between Iraq and Türkiye because the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow from Türkiye toward Iraq. Iraq faces water shortages because of drought and declining water volumes. The government hopes that the new projects will help improve irrigation networks and water facilities and support better resource management.
