The Razkari Party or Riz Kari (Arabic: حزب رزكاري; English: Liberation Party) is a Kurdish political group based in Lebanon that was established in 1975 by Faissal Fakhro.

Riz Kari supported the Kurdish forces fighting against the Iraqi regime. For a brief period during the 1975-76 Civil War, however, Riz Kari joined forces with the Kurdish Democratic Party – Lebanon (KDP-L) to form the Progressive Kurdish Front in an effort to eliminate differences in the ranks of Lebanese Kurds.

Riz Kari was weakened in the mid-1970s by the defection of part of its organization, which called itself the Leftist Riz Kari, or Riz Kari II.

This organization is led by Mahmoud Khodr Fattah Ahmad,^[1] a staunch ally of Syria. They rejected the formation of the Progressive Kurdish Front because it included the "right-wing" leadership of Jamil Meho. The party is allied with Hizbullah.
