It split from the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan in October 2007 over internal disagreements[2] but reunited with them in November 2022.[3]
It was led by Omar Ilkhanizade[1][2] and operated a television network named ASOsat.[4]
On 21 June 2023, the alliance between the group and the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan collapsed.[5] Following the collapse, the two clashed, and as a result of the infighting, two were killed and three were wounded.[5] The clashes took place in Zargawez in Iraq's Kurdistan Region.[5] Norway-based Kurdish human rights NGO Hengaw offered readiness to mediate between the two.[5]
