“The al-Iraqiya bloc agrees that the post of president of Iraq should be occupied by an Arab person and still wants the post to be specifically reserved for Tareq al-Hashemi,” Abdulkareem al-Samarraie said in an interview with the semi-official al-Iraqiya news channel.

Al-Iraqiya spokeswoman Maysoon al-Damlooji had said that there was no one named for the presidential post in Iraq.

Al-Hashemi, told Arabic media that Iraq is an Arab country and that only an Arab president could pull the nation back from the dangers of renewed sectarian strife.

“Damlooji’s statements were personal and did not represent the bloc’s opinion. This is what we have been told by the bloc leader (former premier) Iyad Allawi,” Samarraie noted.

The current president of Iraq is Jalal Talabani, a Kurd and the leader of one of Iraq’s two main Kurdish parties, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
