The articles published in the magazine's two issues, especially those related to the Kurdish liberation movement, deserve to be presented within the framework of a scientific research. The magazine was released nine years after the ups and downs of the Kurdish revolution and the subsequent agreement between the leadership of the September Revolution and the Iraqi government, which was reflected in the March 11, 1970 declaration.
