Two New Circassian Organizations Take Up Cudgels for that Nation’s History, Language and Toponymy
Paul Goble
Staunton, Sept. 10 – Two new Circassian organizations set up last week in Kabardino-Balkaria plan to take up the cudgels for the defense of Circassian history, the survival and growth of the Circassian language, and the maintenance or even more the defense of Circassian place names across the North Caucasus.
