Mr. Hassan Beg was an amiable and highly courteous person to a very large extent. One of his most admirable and courageous stands that witnessed his courage in the political life, was his denial of what was published in the official press of his position against the Kurdish movement, and Mullah Mustafa Barzani in particular, and his full support and backing of the Kurdish movement under the leadership of Mullah Mustafa Barzani in 1962.
