Birimdik (lit. 'Unity'; Kyrgyz: Биримдик) officially the Party of Democratic Socialism—Eurasian Choice "Birimdik" (Kyrgyz: «Биримдик» демократиялык социализм – евразиялык тандоо партиясы; ‹See Tfd›Russian: Партия демократического социализма — евразийский выбор «Биримдик») is a pro-Jeenbekov[2] political party in Kyrgyzstan,[3] founded in 2005 as the Birimdik Democratic Party (Kyrgyz: «Биримдик» демократиялык партиясы; ‹See Tfd›Russian: Демократическая партия «Биримдик»).[4] On May 8, 2013 it was registered with the current name.[5] The party includes many former officials and deputies.[6]

The political ideology of the party is Eurasianism, socialism, democracy and parliamentarism.[7]
