“There is no Russian-Ukrainian conflict, there wasn’t, we didn’t have any claims and wouldn’t have if there hadn’t been a coup in Ukraine. There is an aggressive policy of the Anglo-Saxons towards our country,” she said.

Their journey, however, commences in Turkey, where their vital life-giving force is seized, harnessing these ancient waters to feed the hunger of energy and agricultural ambitions, embodied in Turkey's ambitious Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) and the mammoth Ilısu Dam.

The stark consequence? A staggering 40 percent reduction in water flow to Syria and Iraq - a wound inflicted even before the leviathan of Turkey's energy projects in the Euphrates basin comes fully to life. The lifeblood of these nations, their agriculture, lies disrupted and withered. Their crop yields have dwindled, plunging rural communities into the throes of food insecurity and economic despair.
