Abstract

The Middle East is one of the most water scarce regions of the world. This is why water issues have - among other factors - influenced the countries’ relationship. Turkey, which is considered a relatively water-abundant country if compared with her southern neighbours, had not considered water as a major foreign policy issue until the 1960s. Following Turkey’s initiation of water development projects on the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers in mid-1970s and during the 1980s, transboundary water issues emerged as a Turkish foreign policy concern, particularly in her relations with Syria.

Until recently, Syria claimed the former Ottoman sub-province of Alexandretta (presently the Turkish province of Hatay) as Syrian territory. Hatay appeared as part of Syria on all official Syrian maps, and consequently the Orontes River was regarded as an internal affair of Syria.
