Fikria Beth Mellé was the mother of MUB member Emmanuel Beth Mellé.

Fikria Küçük Aslan Beth Mellé was born in 1952, in Midyat, Turkey. She married George Beth Mellé from Zalin, Syria, in 1967 and joined her husband there. They had four sons and one daughter together.

Struggle heals the wounds of the path of national unity and freedom, and every step the body takes on the path of national unity and freedom fulfills part of their aspirations for a peaceful life.

The MUB presidential committee concluded its statement with offering its sincere condolences to Beth Nahrin National Council member Emmanuel Beth Mellé and the whole family.
