On March 31, 1946, he served as a Peshmerga in the Barzan Force affiliated with the Army of the Republic of Kurdistan in Mahabad and participated in the battles of the Saqqez front in the Republic of Kurdistan. On April 15, 1947, he crossed with Sheikh Ahmad Barzani at the Gader River, which is located on the international border of the Kingdom of Iran and the Kingdom of Iraq, and was detained for several months in the Diana prison (Erbil).

On April 19, 1947, he decided to continue the resistance under the command of General Mustafa Barzani , and on May 23, 1947, he was a companion of General Mustafa Barzani towards the Soviet Union and participated in the battles of the route towards the Soviet Union. On June 18, 1947, he crossed the Aras River, which is located on the border between Iran and the Soviet Union, into the Soviet Union.

After arriving in the Soviet Union, on June 19, 1947, he and all his companions were placed in the city of Nakhchivan in the Republic of Azerbaijan for forty days in an open-air compound surrounded by barbed wire. They were guarded by a group of soldiers and were treated like prisoners of war in terms of food, clothing, and movement. Later, by the decision of the Soviet government, they were distributed among the regions of Aghdam, Lachin, Ayulakh, and Kalbajar in the Republic of Azerbaijan. On December 10, 1947, they were transferred to a military camp on the Caspian Sea in Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and on the 23rd of the same month, they were given military uniforms and, under the supervision of the officers of the Republic of Azerbaijan, they were given eight hours of military training daily.

In March 1949, he and his companions were distributed in groups and squads by train to the collective villages of the Soviet Union and worked in the collective farms (the lands that people rented from the government and later gave the government's share back). After much effort and sending several letters by General Barzani to Stalin, a letter finally reached Stalin in which Barzani described the hardships of his companions, and he immediately decided to form a committee to investigate the Situation of Barzani's companions.
