Kurdish Democratic Party (Lebanon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamil Mihhu established the Kurdish Democratic Party in 1960, but it was not licensed until 1970.
Mihhu, however, supported the Iraqi government against Kurdish rebels fighting in that country, and he was captured and imprisoned by the Kurdish resistance in Iraq.
Consequently, the leadership of the party passed to Jamil's son, Riyad. Another son, Muhammad, disagreed with his family's position on several issues and therefore in 1977 started his own movement, the Kurdish Democratic Party--Temporary Leadership.
