The Assyrian Socialist Party, the first Assyrian political party, was founded in 1917 after the Russian revolution, by Dr. Freydun Atturaya, Rabbi Benjamin Bet Arsanis and Dr. Baba Bet Parhad.^[1]^[2]

In 2002, an Assyrian Socialist Party (Gaba Shawtapaya Atouraya) was reestablished "by a group of Assyrian workers in northern Iraq", so is it stated on its website where its goals are defined as such: "The ASP(GSA) is a socialist and democratic party, which aims to resuscitate an Assyrian Nation for Assyrian people in an Independent and Popular Republic".^[3]
