The 21st of May, a day only a Circassian will remember. It is the day when the freedom loving people of the North Caucasus, the Circassians, after 100 years of continuous brutal war, nay massacre, by Tsarist Russia, and hundreds of years before that against other foes, finally succumbed to leave their heavenly lands under a deceitful trickery between the Tsars and Ottamans.

The result, a proud nation abandoning their heavenly homeland and falling into the wicked hands of manipulative war lords. Massacring and displacing over 1.5 million of this ancient civilization leaving less than 5% in the homeland in which they lived and loved from the dawn of time.

The peaks of the Caucasus mountains still cry’s for its children until this day, and today on the saddest of days, the 21st of May with the scar from 1864, every Circassians heart hears the motherlands cries for her children in the diaspora weeping out loud: Come back, for it is here you belong, free roaming amongst the peaks of Kazbek and Albrouz like your brave ancestors, but for now, always keep me in your brave heart.

Russia Kabardino-Balkarian State University, Nalchik organized Nalchik Premier League in 2020.

Aaron of the Circassian village Kafr Kama in Northern Israel is the Captain of the soccer youth team of Maccabi Haifa/Nahalal.


Jews, Circassians, Muslim and Christian Arabs all play together at the Maccabi Haifa-Nahalal youth football academy.

In the heart of the Jezreel Valley in the Galilee, on the football fields of Nahalal, a very special youth football team flourishes. This unique soccer squad consists of 13 year-old players from different Israeli backgrounds and cultures. These diverse athletes hone their skills on the grounds of Israel's oldest communal farming village, Moshav Nahalal, which was founded in 1921.
True coexistence is achieved every day through the passion for "the beautiful game" demonstrated by these young men and their families

(20 Aug 2012) LEAD-IN:
The fighting in Syria is spilling out across the Middle East as refugees flee.
People from one ethnic group, the Circassians are escaping to Russia to find their long lost ancestors in the North Caucasus.
In the 1860s they fled to Syria to escape fighting in their ancestral homeland, and now they are trying to return.
STORYLINE:
Rim Kray is a refugee from Aleppo in Syria, and now she resides in this small, cramped room with her two sons.
She is living in a single room in a sanatorium in Nalchik in Russia's Caucasus region.
The refugee from Aleppo says she was worried for her two sons' safety, so the family left Syria for Russia.
"We were afraid of bombings and armed people who were attacking. So because of the kids we had to leave everything we had there and go away," she says.
In the 1860s many Circassians such as Kray's ancestors fled Russia.
The Circassians fiercely resisted the Russian czarist conquest that ended in the 1860s after decades of scorched-earth warfare, mass killings or expulsions that some historians and politicians consider genocide.
Now, hundreds of Circassians are fleeing war-torn Syria for this remote Russian region of soaring peaks and lush forests.
In the coming months, thousands more are expected to arrive in Kabardino-Balkariya, a Caucasus province the size of Maryland with a population of less than 900,000, two-thirds of which is ethnic Circassian.
Circassians were widely dispersed in the Russian expulsions.
An estimated 2 million live in Turkey, another 100,000 in Syria and other sizable populations are in Jordan and the United States. But their sense of ethnic unity remains strong and the pull of their homeland compelling.
The region they have come back to is afflicted by violence, too. The Caucasus republics are plagued by an Islamic insurgency that spread from Chechnya's separatist wars.
A brazen 2005 raid of Islamists on Nalchik left 130 people dead, and Kabardino-Balkariya still experiences occasional small clashes.
Despite the violence, Circassians say they feel comfortable in their ancestral homeland.
But the refugees arriving say the economic prospects in the area are greater than in the Middle East.
Natai al-Sharkas, a 35-year-old Syrian refugee from Damascus says some of the conflict in the Caucasus are similar to the Middle East.
Al Sharkas's great-grandfather Koushoukou, his brother and two cousins were forcibly drafted and sent to the Russian-Turkish war of the late 1870s.
They had to fight Ottoman Turks - fellow Muslims whose sultans supported Circassian resistance and provided refuge for hundreds of thousands of Circassians. After killing his officer in Bulgaria, Koushoukou joined the Turkish military and ended his life in Damascus - part of Ottoman Turkey at the time.
Al Sharkas, which means Circassian in Arabic, used a network of family connections, along with Facebook, to find relatives in Kabardino-Balkariya and other parts of Russia.
He encourages his Syrian relatives to follow him to the Caucasus, although now, because of the fighting, it hardly seems possible.
"It's the same situation in the Middle East, you know, you always have problems almost everywhere, such kind of problems. If it's not some Islamic insurgency, so it will be mafia and criminal activities. So, everywhere in the world you have this situation. The major problem is the economical problem, I believe, and here, I think that Caucasus has the huge opportunity to be developed and to be a very developed area," says al-Sharkas.
Without residence and work permits, they will have to leave the country when their visas expire.
