Abstract The development process of the Turkish-Syrian relations has affected the direct usage of transboundary waters, to which the two countries are riparians. The Orontes River, to which Lebanon, Syria and Turkey are riparians, could not have been opened for discussion for a long time, both because of the tense relations between the two countries and also because of the Hatay issue. As the yield of relations between the two countries developing in a positive way after 2000’s, the foundation of the Asi Friendship Dam to be built between the two countries on Asi river, of which Turkey mentioned years ago, was laid on February 6th 2011. The developing process of this joint dam project, which is a major cooperation step in the usage of transbo- undary waters, has been estimated to be influenced by the civil commotions and their effects taking place in Syria since March 2011.
