After arriving in the Soviet Union, on June 19, 1947, he and all his comrades were detained in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan, for forty days in an open community surrounded by barbed wire, guarded by soldiers and treated as prisoners of war. They were later divided into the regions of Aghdam, Lachin, Ayulakh and Kalbajar in the Republic of Azerbaijan by the decision of the Soviet government. On December 10, 1947, they were transferred to a military base on the Caspian Sea in Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan. On the 23rd of the same month, they were given military uniforms and underwent eight hours of daily military training under the supervision of officers of the Republic of Azerbaijan. At the same time, they were taught Kurdish for four hours a day by some of their educated comrades.
After Jafar Bakirov's mistreatment of his comrades, Barzani decided to move his military camp from the Republic of Azerbaijan on August 29, 1948 to the community of Chirchuk near Tashkent, the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan, where they continued military training.
In March 1949, he and his comrades were distributed by train to the villages of the Soviet Union and worked on the farms of the farmers.
After much effort and sending several letters by General Barzani to Stalin, Stalin finally received a letter in which Barzani talked about the suffering of his comrades and he immediately decided to form a committee to investigate the situation of Barzani's comrades. The committee finally decided to gather them all in Vrevsky, so in November 1951 he went to Vrevsky, Soviet Union.
In 1958, the Iraqi Republic was established under the leadership of Abdul Karim Qasim. On April 16, 1959, he returned to Kurdistan by boat with his comrades via the port of Basra in the south of the Iraqi Republic. He participated in the September Revolution in 1961.[1]
