Dear Benjamin
Yes he is the son of "Martyr" Franso Hariri, who was a member of the KDP, a "Martyre" is a "Martyre" of his cause and when he works in a kurdish party then he would be a martyr of the kurdish cause which is "kurdifying Assyria", whever were the circumstances during his membership and the reasons behind it. People like Franso Hariri where the poison who is killing the Assyrian cause by creating a "kurdstanist generation" that graduated politicians like kanna and other kurdstanists.
Fawzi Hariri "was" in BNDP but now he is in KDP, his father's party that adpots the same cause : "kurdifying Assyria".
Jackeline Zomaya was not a "member" of the KDP but she used the kurds to arrive to the parliament and propose the Assyrian cause and this is proven by her stands against 5 speechless mummies, so how can we use it as an example when we discuss Hariri's strategy ?
Congratulating Hariri will give to non-Assyrians, the impression that the Assyrian cause is really represented and this is a wrong message about the Assyrian nationalism which is : Assyrian identity and Equality Of Assyrians with other groups in Iraq. The KDP worked always against the both elements.
I hope that you will have the chance to call Hariri for an interview with AssyriaSat and ask him about "Assyrian Federalism Equally with Kurds" and see what can we expect from him.

Dear Ashur,
As you know, Mr. Fawzi Francois Al-Hariri is the son of martyr Francois Al-Hariri. His father was a respectful man among us. He helped many Assyrians during his career. Perhaps, that’s why he got killed by Kurdish terrorists who were never faced charges.
Martyr’s son, Mr. Fawzi Francois Al-Hariri was a member of Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party. In the past, he has shown respect to our Assyrian identity, and he has worked toward the Assyrian Cause. He knows what Assyrian Cause is, and was raised by an Assyrian nationalist. Now, he comes from the Kurdish side. I really wish the scenario was different here.
However, in the past, we had people like Ms. Jacklin Zomaya, who also came from the same Kurdish side but stood up for the Assyrian identity and Assyrian Cause. Jacklin gained our support and did accomplish as much as she was able to. We hope same would apply to Mr. Al-Hariri.
Our expectations from Mr. Fawzi Francois Al-Hariri and Ms. Wijdan Mikaeil are:
- To work toward a united, democratic, pluralistic, and parliamentary Iraq (Iraqi Agenda)
- To preserve constitutional recognition of the historical and national name of the Assyrians
- To help in fulfilling our Assyrian agenda (constitutional recognition of the Assyrians national rights in Iraq)
- To help undo the damages caused by traitor Kanna
Let it be known, Bet-Nahrainians are highly conservative. We would never compromise anything and I mean anything related to the Assyrian Cause and Assyrian identity. As Jonathan Eric Lewis says:"...the Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party (BNDP), advocates an autonomous state for Assyrians in Iraq. It is perhaps one of the most nationalistic of all Assyrian organizations and has its American base in Modesto, California…"[1]
My congratulations to both Assyrian ministers meant, I welcome their new position, and I give them a chance to work for the Assyrian agenda. The moment we find out these two ministers do not walk on the Assyrian path, we will confront them the same way we did with traitor Kanna, the Baathy.Khaya Atour
