The Circassian flag is a national and cultural symbol celebrated on Circassian Flag Day, April 25th. Its design features a green background with twelve gold stars forming a bow and three crossed arrows at the center, symbolizing unity and defense. The flag is not only significant to the Republic of Adyghea but also to Circassians globally, representing their cultural and spiritual unity.

David Urquhart, a British diplomat, is traditionally credited with the flag's creation in 1836 when he sent three flags to Circassia, symbolizing independence with a design of a white circle and three black arrows. However, this narrative oversimplifies the complex dynamics and roles played by others, notably Seferbiy Zaneqo, a key Circassian national movement figure who facilitated Urquhart's brief visit to Circassia in 1834.

Seferbiy Zaneqo's involvement was significant in the flag’s introduction to Circassia, a symbol of Circassian identity and sovereignty. The flag’s design connects to the heraldic traditions of the region, tracing back to the banner of Kuchuk Dzhankhotov, a senior prince of Kabarda, which featured similar elements of crossed arrows and stars.

Today, the Circassian flag symbolizes more than a regional emblem; it stands for freedom, unity, and pride. Celebrated with processions and cultural festivities, it represents the resilience and rich heritage of the Circassian people. Circassian Flag Day is an occasion to reflect on the community's ongoing struggle for recognition and self-determination. For more on the flag’s history and significance, the interview with historian Samir Khotqo on abkhazworld.com provides deeper insights into its ties to Circassian national identity.

LOREENA MCKENNITT INTERVIEW
(THE ADYGHE DOCUMENTARY - ADİGE BELGESELİ*)

Loreena McKennitt, belgeselde Kelt kökenli olması ve köklerindeki gizemi araması, Kafkasya'ya olan ilgisi ve Kafkasya ile ilgili ünlü bestesinin oluşum sürecini anlatmaktadır:

"...Ailem Kelt kökenli. Keltlerin, millattan 500 sene öncesine dayanan Orta Asya ve Avrupa'dan gelen küçük kabileler olduğunu öğrendim. Ben bunu öğrendiğim zaman, daha da ileri gitmek istedim.

Aslında Çerkes insanını tam olarak tanımıyorum. Sanırım, herbirimizin içinde geçmişimizi anlamak ve daha fazla öğrenmeye yönelik bir eğilim ve bunu anlamanın bizim gelişimimiz için ne kadar önemli olduğu düşüncesi var. Bütün bunlar beni bu deneyimin ve bu beste çalışmanın içine çekti..."

NIGHT RIDE ACROSS THE CAUCASUS

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of a thousand doves

In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries

Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny

Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost

Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

SÜR ATINI GECENİN İÇİNDEN
(KAFKASYA'YI GECELEYİN BOYDAN BOYA GEÇERKEN)

Sür atını! Gecenin ortasından sür!
Sür; gecenin içinden.

Karanlığın kadife örtüsü,
Sessiz ağaçların belirsiz görüntüsü...
Durmuş bakıyorlar.
Ki, yaşamın gizine ermiş sessiz tanıklar onlar

Sür atını! Gecenin ortasından sür!
Sür; gecenin içinden.

Mahmur tepelerde balkıyan yıldızlar,
Raks ederek, ta denize dökülüyorlar.
Sen, atını koştururken dörtnala ülkende,
Onun yumuşak eli hep üzerinde.
Nereye gidersen git,
Çizer kaderini de.

Sür atını! Gecenin ortasından sür!
Sür; gecenin içinden.

Beni de al, beni de al gezine,
Götür beni de zamanın ötesine.
Sözcükler yitip gitti,
Sığındı sesler orman mabedine.

Yanıtlar bul, sorular sor.
Ulaş köklerine o antik ağacın,
Al götür beni danslara, şarkılara
Süreceğim atımı denizin Ay'la buluştuğu ufuklara...

Sür atını! Gecenin ortasından sür!
Sür; gecenin içinden.

Today’s Freaky Friday episode tells the brave story of Rob Parkes, who survived years of lies, deceptions, and domestic abuse from his ex-wife, labeled the 'Black Widow' by the media. But her real name is Victoria Breeden.

Their relationship began at university in 1999, and almost immediately, Victoria started controlling Rob. He had to act a certain way, be "enough of a man" for her, and she kept him away from his friends and a normal life.

After university, they got married and had a daughter together. This meant Victoria was no longer the sole focus of his attention, and she hated that. Her coercion and abuse intensified until, four years into their marriage, Rob couldn’t take it anymore.

In April 2008, they finally separated, and Rob tried to move on with his life. But Victoria had other plans, and a long, terrifying custody battle began. Rob faced not only the fight for his daughter but also the chilling lengths Victoria went to maintain control.

Over the years, she spread horrific and vile lies about Rob, convincing everyone he was dangerous. It's why, she claimed, he had to die...

Victoria seduced six different men to kill him. She even orchestrated a shocking arson attack at his family home in the dead of night. But it wasn't until she tried to hire someone to make Rob disappear for good that her web of lies finally began to unravel.
