21 May 1864 - Circassian Genocide

On this day 157 years ago, one of the most brutal military campaigns in modern history came to an end with the occupation of Circassia and the forced exodus of what was left of the Circassian nation after 101 years of defending their homeland from the Russian invaders. With more than 90% of the Circassian nation killed or forcefully expelled to what was then the Ottoman Empire, the atrocities committed during this war by the Russian invaders is considered by many the worst genocide in modern history. Circassia’s fallen heroes and the tragedy of ethnic cleansing may be unknown to many, but to Circassians, 21 May 1864 will never be forgotten.

في مثل هذا اليوم قبل ١٥٧ عاما، انتهت احدى أكثر الحملات العسكرية وحشية في التاريخ المعاصر باحتلال شركيسيا والتهجير القسري لما تبقى من الشعب الشركسي بعد ١٠١ عام من الدفاع عن وطنهم أمام الغزاة الروس. يمكن اعتبار ما حصل من قتل وتهجير ما يقارب ٩٠٪؜ من الشعب الشركسي الى الامبراطورية العثمانية أسوأ ابادة جماعية وتطهير عرقي في العصر الحديث. قد تكون ذكرى أبطال شركيسيا وابادتهم الجماعية غير معروفة للكثير، الا أن ٢١ أيار ١٨٦٤ يوم لا ينسى للشعب الشركسي.


157 yıl önce bugün, modern tarihin en acımasız askeri saldırılarından biri, Çerkesya'nın işgali ve 101 yıl boyunca vatanlarını Rus işgaline karşı savunan Çerkeslerin zorla göç ettirilmesiyle sona erdi. Çerkeslerin % 90'ından fazlasının katledildiği veya zorla Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'na sürüldüğü bu savaş sırasında Çarlık Rusyasının işlediği zulüm, birçokları tarafından modern tarihin en korkunç soykırımlarından biri olarak kabul ediliyor. Çerkesya'yı savunmak için hayatını kaybedenler ve yaşanan etnik temizlik hâlâ yeterince bilinmiyor olsa da Çerkesler 21 Mayıs 1864'ü hiçbir zaman unutmadı ve hiçbir zaman unutmayacak.
