After their return, General Mustafa Barzani held a meeting with his comrades in the village of Argosh on 15 May 1947. He gave his comrades a free choice whether they want to stay or go to the Soviet Union. All his comrades decided to continue and leave for the Soviet Union.

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 and guarded by soldiers. In terms of food, clothing, and transportation, they had been treated as prisoners of war.

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. 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, General Barzani and his comrades went to Vrevsky, Soviet Union.
