Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Tuesday, during a visit to Iraq, that his country will adopt a water policy that serves both countries interests, according to dpa. "We have fulfilled a pledge to increase Iraq's quota of water to over 500 cubic meters per second," said Davutoglu, adding that his country was considering another increase. During a press conference in Baghdad with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari, Davutoglu said that his country is working to restore the activity of the Iraqi-Turkish-Syrian joint committee to follow the issue of water. "I told the Iraqi Foreign Minister how this committee could be activated to solve the water problems, because we want our region to be the most prosperous in the world. Turkey had deep-rooted historic and geographic relations with this country and is eager to reduce problems and boost common interests with Iraq," added Davutoglu.
