Abstract

Along with oil, water has a key role and importance in the security and political yard of the West Asian region, in such a way that it has seriously affected the political and security relations between the countries of this region. The results of the research indicate that Turkey's water structures in the environmental dimension will reduce the flow of incoming water to the northwestern regions and increase the production of fine dust in the western and southwestern regions of our country. In the social dimension, migration from the northwestern and southwestern regions to the central plateau will increase and the border regions will gradually become uninhabited. Environmental pollution and economic and social consequences, such as the spread of poverty, marginalization, and health problems, gradually provide the necessary ground for separatist activities and ethnic and tribal movements, which results in the ever-increasing spread of challenges. and new security issues in the country.
