Shwan Muhammad Taha told Shafaq News Agency, "no position is exclusive to any party in Iraq. This applies to the Presidency of the Republic. It is an entitlement of the Kurdish community."
"Prime Minister is Shiite. Parliament Speaker is Sunni. These positions are not for political parties. They belong to the community."
