The official spokesman of the Iraqi parliament denied quoted by the London-based Arabic-language al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper as quoting the council's president, Mohammed al-Halbousi.

"Halabousi was speaking at a dialogue session for a number of newspapers and agencies and his transfer to the Middle East is a manipulation of the past and a distorted and inaccurate deduction from the context of a comprehensive talk in which the president affirmed the independence and sovereignty of Iraq, Shaker Hamid said.
