Arab Ba'ath Progressive Party

The Arab Ba'ath Progressive Party (Arabic: حزب البعث العربي التقدمي Ḥizb al-Baʿṯ al-ʿArabī t-Taqaddumī, Arabic pronunciation: [ˈħiz.b‿al.ˈbaʕ.θ‿al.ˈʕa.ra.bi‿t.ta.ˈqad.du.miː]) is a political party in Jordan. It is the Jordanian regional branch of the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party.[2] It was legally registered for the first time in 1993. The party is small, but despite it small size, the branch is able to get a decent footprint in Jordanian media through its leader, Fuad Dabbour. Dabbour's fiery statements on foreign policy are frequently quoted by the press.[citation needed] The party is less known than its pro-Iraqi counterpart, the Jordanian Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.[3] Fuad Dabbour is the party's Regional Secretary.[4]
