Circassian nationalist movement (CNM)
23 December, 2012
Based on the fact that the Circassians who were deported from their Motherland as a result of the war imposed on the Circassian nation by Tsarist Russia which resulted into the occupation of Circassia entirely (historic homeland of the Circassians), its destruction, killing, genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced deportation, a group of descendants of those who were forcibly deported and living in Jordan, out of their feeling of inherited responsibility entrusted to them by their forefathers to restore their legitimate rights, has determined to press ahead through research and following -up elements, aspects and concerns of the Circassian Question to inform the Circassians through advocacy for meetings, dialogues, seminars and conferences with the participation of the interested, specialists and experts, whether of Circassians or others in order to lay down the foundations and constituents for the unified Circassians action, and to choose the methods and means to be followed in order to place dots on letters, and to move responsibly seeking favorable opportunities for the delivery of the Circassian Question to the international arena in order to claim the rights of the Circassian nation and to preserve it from sidetracked, ignored or neglected.
The painful memory that have engulfed our hearts is the loss of Circassian homeland which was occupied by those who wanted to empty its people and swallow it, and in consecration of what had happened to the Circassian nation as a result of the occupation of its soil, extermination and forced deportation from its homeland in the North Caucasus, which delved it into suffering and agony, displacement and continued aggressive and inhumane practices against the Circassian people which are scattered in dozens of countries around the world, the tyrants wanted to send this ancient nation into oblivion, in a world of oppression, tyranny and injustice, so the children and grandchildren of the victims would forget what had happened, and for Circassia to remain forgotten in limbo and missing from the world map.
The move will be through incipience of making direct and indirect contacts with Circassian organizations, institutions and associations located either at homeland or in Diaspora and Alienation for the sake of coordination among them, to choose the priorities of objective movement to focus on the matters that everyone must abide by, especially achieving the main desired objective which is justice.
The following dimensions must be taken into account:
-The establishment of a Circassian independent media to focus on enriching the Circassian nationalist thought.
– The call to secure recognition of the Circassian Genocide, and subsequent sequence:
– Recognition.
– Apology.
– Compensation.
– The right of return to homeland under an international umbrella.
The right of self-determination on the Circassian land.
– To demand the respect of the rights of the Circassian human being wherever he might be.
– To preserve the Circassian language and culture
– To call the world to boycott the Winter Olympic Games -2014, to be held in Sochi the “Circassian occupied land”
– The formation of a national fund in which all Circassians contribute voluntarily with an amount not less than one U.S. dollar for each member of the family members and to facilitate this through establishing sub-national funds in each country where there are Adigha/Circassians
