Finally. Someone who called a spade a spade. Perhaps the only non-Circassian channel/individual to not dance around the word genocide. Thank you for shedding light on our history, very few people know who we are and what our ancestors had to go through.

Not only did the Circassian genocide cause the annihilation of the Ubykh tribe, but it also led to the Ubykh language's extinction. The last speaker of this very unique language, Tevfik Esenç, died in Turkey in 1992, and with him the language went extinct.

Circassians have a surprisingly outsized role in the Middle East. They helped found the capital city of Jordan; Amman. A lot of the rulers of Egypt were originally of Circassian origin.

One of my country's Prime Minister (Malaysia), late Tun Hussein Onn, had Circassian ancestry. Their descedants still influential in this country from politics to education and business.

After fleeing from the Russian empire, many circassians took refuge in the Ottoman empire, where they became highly influential. They produced great politicians such as Hayreddin Pasha, powerful military generals such as Ahmet Anzavur Pasha and great Intellectuals and poets such as Ahmad Shawqi many many others.

Love the visual at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFSDbHppDKg&t=52">0:52</a>. As Circassians, the metaphor of the "Black Sea being a grave" to many of our people is something we’ve often heard from our grandparents. Some in our family used to refuse eating any seafood that came from the Black Sea for some time, saying that they had the blood of our ancestors on them. They often said that the shores of Northern Black Sea and the Turkish shores where the deportees arrived were full of dead bodies and "red from blood and flesh" for days.

I am a Circassian living in Turkey. I got goosebumps when I saw your video. On behalf of all Circassians, thank you very much for this video.We are tired of always being in the background and being forgotten. The world doesn't care about us, most of countries care more about their relations with Russia. But our people perished. It will never be the same as before. We try to keep our culture alive as much as we can and make people aware of ourselves. This video will be very important for history lovers to have an idea about the Circassians.<br>One day, Free Circassia again...💚💛
