Yekbûn

[1] Following the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, the policies pursued by the Soviet Kurds gained a wider dimension as their relations with the Kurdish diaspora living in the Middle East and Europe grew.

Past exile policies contributed to the development and discussion of ideas for specific regional solutions to the Kurdish issue.

The demand for autonomy also coincided with various situations that led to the dissolution of Khrushchev, such as hostility between Armenia and Azerbaijan stemming from regional and historical issues.

In early 1963, a group of Armenian Kurds demanded the re-creation of an autonomous region in Azerbaijan, and held talks with the parliament speaker, Mehmed Iskenderov.

[3] Perestroika led to an acceleration of historical research and the emergence of more radical discussions on the national issue among Soviet Kurds than in previous periods.

In March 1989, a meeting was held at the house of Knyaze Eliyê Asik in the village of Aşıbulak in Kazakhstan, led by Babeyev and Mustafayev.

Members supported principles such as uniting Kurdish social and cultural organizations in order to prevent assimilation, establishing Soviets in provinces, towns and villages in the regions where Kurds live, continuing the reconstruction works of the abolished Kurdish autonomous region (Kurdistan Uyezdi) and making necessary suggestions and recommendations to the parliament of the Soviet Union to accomplish all of these objectives.

[2] However, if the goal of building Kurdish autonomy in the lands where Kurdistan Uyezdi was located could not be achieved, negotiations were to be held for another region where Kurds coexisted in the Soviet Union.

[2] Yekbûn received permission to publish magazines in all republics within the scope of these activities and began publication with the newspaper Kurdistan on September 19, 1991, in Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan.

[11] The Kurdish issue was brought to the agenda at the general meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on 20 September 1989.

[2] The international conference "USSR Kurds: History and Today's Realities" was held between 25 and 26 September 1990 with the decision of the Central Committee.

Branches of the Kurdish Institute of Marxism–Leninism made contributions to the conference of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria in which the Kurds joined representatives from Germany and France.
