On May 21, Circassian communities worldwide commemorated the 150th anniversary of the end of the Russian-Circassian war. According to some accounts, the war lasted for a hundred years—from 1763, when Russian armies invaded Eastern Kabarda, to 1864 when the Russian military paraded at the place Krasnaya Polyana near the modern-day city of Sochi. The Russian Empire killed or deported to the Ottoman Empire an estimated 90 percent of the Circassian population of the Caucasus. As a result of the large-scale deportation of the Circassians, the majority of them now reside outside their North Caucasus homeland. To mark the anniversary, Circassians held demonstrations in Turkey, Germany, the United States, the North Caucasus and elsewhere. Read more

The commemoration of 150 years of the end of the Tsarist Russian-Circassian War, and all the accompanied negative consequences, particularly the Circassian Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing followed by forced Deportation of the Circassian nation, calls that a light should be shed on some of the facts and events linked with the different issues of the Circassian Genocide.

Circassia is located in Southeastern Europe, in the historical region of the Northwestern part of the Caucasus Mountains, on the Northeastern coast of the Black Sea (1). The Circassian civilization and culture of the North Western Caucasus had existed for more than 6000 years of continuous positive contribution to humanity that enhanced and enriched the human civilizations through thousands of years (65). It is situated in a strategic location within the Caucasus Plateau, which contains within its territories Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in the European Continent with an elevation of 18,510 Feet.
