"1864… Hundreds of thousands of Circassians were forcibly exiled from their homeland in the Circassia. Hunger, disease, freezing temperatures, and treacherous journeys claimed the lives of thousands. Displaced from their homes, families, and roots, the Circassians became victims of one of history’s darkest tragedies. Today, this painful truth still awaits recognition by the world."

We, Circassians and human rights advocates from all around the world, call for the official recognition of the systematic massacre and deportation of the Circassian people in 1864 as a genocide.

Why Must It Be Recognized?
Acknowledging Historical Truths: The Circassian Genocide is a grim chapter of human history. Recognizing it is the first step towards justice.
Preserving Cultural Heritage: The Circassian people were uprooted from their homeland and subjected to assimilation. Recognition is vital for preserving their identity and culture.
Justice and Peace: Confronting past atrocities teaches valuable lessons to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
What Should the World Do?
The European Parliament, the United Nations, and other international bodies must formally recognize the Circassian Genocide.
The victims and their descendants must be granted reparations and guaranteed the right to return to their homeland.
International support should be provided to protect and promote Circassian cultural identity.
