As well, there is nationality minority sharing with the other in religion (Turkmen: Sunni and Shiite). Form other side, Iraqi constitution and laws gives minorities additional political right (dual electoral right). In this right (quota), minorities granted special seats as a minority. As well, they have the right to participate within other national parties without effecting their right.
