Today in Nalchik, Maykop and Cherkessk, events dedicated to the 161st anniversary of the Circassian genocide took place.
Of course, all events dedicated to the memory of this tragic date were banned by the Russian imperialists. However, despite the ban, the Circassians still came out and honoured the memory of their ancestors.
I remember those days when the Bashkirs were also banned, actions that reminded the Russian occupation authorities that the Bashkirs remember their heroes, and remember their tragic dates were not approved. But we still went out, then received fines, arrests, and criminal cases, but we went out. And the Circassians went out.
We must always go out and remind the Russian occupiers that this is our land and we remember our history!
