Iran'sForeign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that the country'sHelmand River water rights treaty with Afghanistan is not being fully implemented.&We have a treaty with Afghanistan on the issue of the Helmand River that is not being implemented fully,& Araghchi told reporters.This comes as the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly said that it is committed to the water treaty with Iran, but Afghanistan itself is struggling with drought.Experts say that the Iranian side should consider the drought situation in the region and the conditions of the rivers.&Environmental changes, drought, and water shortages have occurred in the region.
The Islamic Republic of Iran should take this into account.
They should examine this issue with careful assessments.
Continuing with such excuses, for whatever political purpose, can disrupt political relations, friendship, and good relations between the two neighboring countries,& said Najib Rahman Shamal, an expert on international affairs.Araqhchi'sremarks contradict Iran'sacting ambassador in Kabul Ali Reza Bekdeli who said earlier this month that the issue of water rights between the two countries had been resolved. The post Iran'sFM says water treaty with Afghanistan not being fully implemented first appeared on Ariana News.
