After the February 1917 Russian revolution, Freydon Atoraya, Benjamin Bet Arsanis and Baba Bet Parhad founded the first Assyrian political party, the Assyrian Socialist Party. Atoraya completed in April 1917 an Urmia Manifesto of the United Free Assyria in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, stating in it that "the goal of the free Assyrian unity is to establish in the future the national self-governing in the regions like Urmia, Mosul, Turabdin, Nisibin, Jezira, Julamaerk along with the reunification with the great free Russia in terms of economic and military agreements".
