I never said that any genocide is good, and I personally was affected by a Genocide when my entire family back in 1860-s was burned in the barn and only one 16 year old boy (my grate grandfather 5 generations back) survived and had to run south into the mountains to survive the massacre.

Russia not only killed our people, they made the 5 % remaining in the homeland suffer terrible Humiliation. No Circassian had write to leave his home or village without permission from Russian officer. The water in the Caucasus region was poisoned at one time by Russian army with plague, which killed enormous amount of people.

I can keep telling you the terrible things that were done to children and pregnant women, but its not the point I want to concentrate on.

I said before and I want to repeat again, that every other genocide that happened was recognized, and people who suffered TERRIBLE things got at least official apologies and some of their values back. Circassians did not get any recognition, and have no rights to return to their Homeland.

The worst part about all of this is that by kicking Circassians out of Homeland, Russians made sure that our language would not survive as well. The alphabet was transfer to Cyrillic�s and now 5/6 of Circassian people who live outside the homeland do not know how to read and write THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, they only learned how to speak from their grandparents.

About 15 years ago, when communism was still there, Circassians in Homeland had no clue about what really happened. Information was covered up by Russian historians and rewritten.

When I studied history there was nothing about the Genocide of Circassians or even a war for 101 years !! the Longest war in worlds history between Russian and Caucasus � (Circassia).

Not only that �� Circassians in Homeland (5 % remaining) were separated in 3 groups:  Adygeyans, Cherkess and Kabardians. After separating Circassians , Russians made sure they put enough people to live in our land to bled us so we never get up and fight Russia.

Hundreds of thousands of Kazaks and Russians were moved to Caucasus.

Soviet power formed republics which consisted out of minority Circassians and majority everybody else in the mix.

After that official language was made Russian, and policy of communism was enforced on our people, which stated that EVERYONE IS SAME, meaning everyone is Russian.

For 150 years Circassian people were forced NOT TO BE CIRCASSIAN, forget their language, their culture, their heritage and all of that was done to us after terrible GENOCIDE and Exile.

Our grandparents were crying telling us those stories of terrible childhood away from home in Turkey, when NO ONE cared if you live or die.

The situation with Circassians in Turkey was nothing better then in Russia, I would like to talk about that next time.

I�m really making this a short message, because there is a lot and lot more to say about the FORGOTTEN � CIRCASSIAN GENOCIDE.
