Movement of the Patriots of Circassia in favor of recognition of the genocide of Circassians

Movement of the Patriots of Circassia expresses strong support for the initiative, of recognizing the Circassian genocide committed by the Russian state in the XIX century.

By 21 May, the 147th anniversary of the end of the Russian-Circassian War in the years of 1763-1864., Appeals for recognition of the Circassian genocide will be directed by us to the leadership of the European Union, Turkey, Russia, Georgia and other states.

The tragedy of the Circassian people, more than 90% of whom were expelled and destroyed in the historic homeland, should get appropriate legal evaluation.

We declare that the Circassian Diaspora should have the right to freely return to the Caucasus, and the Circassian nation - to exercise their natural right to live on their land as a united nation.
