CLOSE OF CONFERENCE

Circassians (Adyghe people) and Ukrainians. Common past --- Про черкесів (адиґи / касоги), південно-східних сусідів українців, один з найдревніших народів планети...і історично набагато ближчий українцям, ніж більшість собі уявляє... --- Circassian song & music. Circassians greatly influenced Ukrainian cossacks. In fact many Ukrainian cossacks were of Circassian stock. Likewise a great number of Circassians settled upon Dnieper and Sniporid rivers in Ukraine (Cherkasy & Poltava provinces), first in 14th century (founded Cherkasy, Chyhyryn, Pyatyhortsi). So, emblem of Chyhyryn, cossack capital of Ukraine has same 3 Circassian arrows as national flag of Circassia. In general, Dnieper Ukrainians and Ukrainians Zaporozhian cossacks were called and referred Cherkasy (Circassians, just as Caucasus Circassians) by Moscow authorities in 16 - 17 th centuries...

Then again in Podolian region of Ukraine in the 16th century, when 5 Circassian kings with 300 soldiers moved to Ukraine upon the invitation of Polish king (as Ukraine was part of Poland then). They even formed famous Piatihortsy regiment (pancerny) in Polish royal army, famous for its bravery. Likewise a number of Circassian warriors from tribe Zhane (Christian Circassians) followed Ukrainian cossack leader Dmytro Bayda-Vyshnevetsky to found Zaporozhian Sich, the seat of Ukrainian cossackdom. Together they fought the Crimean Khanate (Tatars), the common enemy of Ukrainians and Circassians...

Ukrainian linguist Tyshchenko name the following Caucasian placenames in Ukraine: Zanky (Nizhyn dist.), Tushebyn (Rivne reg.), Koverdyna (from Circassian Kabarda tribe, Shyshaky dist., Poltava reg.), Abazivka (Poltava dist. & Kharkiv reg, from Abazin people), Kivshuvata (south Kyiv reg.) , Lazky (from Laz people), Tsukury (from Tsakhur people), Pslo, Psolia, Vorskla, Subot and Ukrainian words of Caucasian origin like kuntush, habardyn, svynets, skovoroda, kuvalda, zhrabno, zubr, chereshnia, osokir, vyno, oliya, moroka, mech, sharpaty.

It is very likely that Ukrainian hetman Ivan Mazepa (one of the greatest leaders of Ukraine from 17th cen.) was also of Circassian origin (of Christian Circassians), as his last name is Circassian (Mazepe means "early moon"). Christian Circassians were escaping into Ukraine, after Tatars and Turks started forceful islamization of Christian Circassians from the late 15th cen. In Ukraine, lords of Kyiv lands used them as southern border guards - the border with Crimean Khanate was in Ukrainian steppe then, just south from modern Cherkasy. It is also said that popular Ukrainian last name Shevchenko is likewise Circassian. Shevdzhens were Circassian Christian priests and -ko means son in Circassian. In general, there is no doubt that Dnieper Ukrainians absorbed a fair amount of these Christian Circassians immigrants.

Для з'ясування родоводу Мазеп велике значення має прояснення питання походження їхнього прізвища. У кабардинській (черкаській) мові слово "мазэ"(a) означає "місяць«, а «мазэпэ» — "першу фазу місяця, його початок". Оскільки у гербі гетьмана присутнє саме таке небесне світило, то це означає, що перед нами — не випадковий звуковий збіг.

This is a lyrics video of the official national anthem of the Republic of Adygea which is a federal subject in the Russian Federation - titled as the "State Anthem of Republic of Adygea (Адыгэ Республикэм и Гимн / Adygæ Respublikæm i Gimn)". As a disclaimer I am still showing respect of the anthem while I wrote down the original Adyghe text at the bottom so you can sing along with it. I just think this video I made looks great and liked the way it turned out.

Tens of thousands of Circassians, an ethnic group originating from Russia's Caucasus region, are believed to be living in Syria.

But now many of them are trying to return to their ancestral homeland.

The majority of the community are supporting the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and they fear reprisals if the opposition takes over.

Jonty Yamisha is a language activist, an "accidental polyglot" in his own words, a "third-generation Circassian refugee," and the founder of OptiLingo, an audio-based language app that uses "guided immersion" to help people reach fluency in foreign languages more quickly. We discuss the Circassian language and cultural history, how he's raising his children bilingually, and how he "steals back" time for language learning amid his busy professional and family life.

The Ottoman penetration into Europe in the 1350s and their capture of Constantinople later in 1453 opened new floodgates for slave-trade from the European front. In their last attempt to overrun Europe in 1683, the Ottoman army, although defeated, returned from the Gates of Vienna with 80,000 captives.874 An immense number of slaves flowed from the Crimea, the Balkans and the steppes of West Asia to Islamic markets. BD Davis laments that the ‘‘Tartars and other Black Sea peoples had sold millions of Ukrainians, Georgians, Circassians, Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, Slavs and Turks,’’ which received little notice.875 Crimean Tatars enslaved and sold some 1,750,000 Ukrainians, Poles and Russian between 1468 and 1694. 876 According to another estimate, between 1450 and 1700, the Crimean Tatars exported some 10,000 slaves, including some Circassians, annually—that is, some 2,500,000 slaves in all, to the Ottoman Empire.877 The Tatar slave-raiding Khans returned with 18,000 slaves from Poland (1463), 100,000 from Lvov (1498), 60,000 from South Russia (1515), 50,000–100,000 from Galicia (1516), during the ‘harvesting of the steppe.’ Numbers from Moscow (1521), 800,000 were taken and from Valynia (1676), 400,000 were taken. 800,000 from Moscow (1521), 200,000 from South Russia (1555), 100,000 from Moscow (1571), 50,000 from Poland (1612), 60,000 from South Russia (1646), 100,000 from Poland (1648), 300,000 from Ukraine (1654), 400,000 from Valynia (1676) and thousands from Poland (1694). Besides these major catches, they made countless more Jihad raids during the same period, which yielded a few to tens of thousands of slaves.878 These figures of enslavement must be considered in the context that the population of the Tatar Khanate was only about 400,000 at the time. (1463-1694) while sources are incomplete, conservative tabulation of the slave raids against the Eastern European population indicate that at least 7 Million European people-men, women, children were enslaved by Muslims.

Sources suggest that in the few years between 1436-1442, some 500,000 people were seized in the Balkans. Many of the captives died in forced marches towards Anatolia (Turkey). Contemporary chronicles note that the Ottomans reduced masses of the inhabitants of Greece, Romania, and the Balkans to slavery eg from Moree (1460)-70,000 and Transylvania (1438) - 60,000-70,000 and 300,000-600,000 from Hungary and 10,000 from Mytilene/Mitilini on Lesbos island (1462) (Bulgaru p 567) and so it continued.

Barbary Slavery
Ohio State University history Professor Robert Davis describes the White Slave Trade as minimized by most modern historians in his book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1500–1800 (Palgrave Macmillan). Davis estimates that 1 million to 1.25 million white Christian Europeans were enslaved in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th, by slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli alone (these numbers do not include the European people which were enslaved by Morocco and by other raiders and traders of the Mediterranean Sea coast), 16th- and 17th-century customs statistics suggest that Istanbul's additional slave import from the Black Sea may have totaled around 2.5 million from 1450 to 1700. The markets declined after the loss of the Barbary Wars and finally ended in the 1830s, when the region was conquered by France.

In 1544, the island of Ischia off Naples was ransacked, taking 4,000 inhabitants prisoners, while some 9,000 inhabitants of Lipari Island off the north coast of Sicily were enslaved.870 Turgut Reis, a Turkish pirate chief, ransacked the coastal settlements of Granada (Spain) in 1663 and carried away 4,000 people as slaves.

The barbaric slave-raiding activities of the Muslim pirates had a telling effect on Europe. France, England, and Spain lost thousands of ships, devastating to their sea-borne trade. Long stretches of the coast in Spain and Italy were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants until the nineteenth century. The finishing industry was virtually devastated.

Paul Baepler’s White Slaves, African Masters: An Anthology of American Barbary Captivity Narratives lists a collection of essays by nine American captives held in North Africa. According to his book, there were more than 20,000 white Christian slaves by 1620 in Algiers alone; their number swelled to more than 30,000 men and 2,000 women by the 1630s. There were a minimum of 25,000 white slaves at any time in Sultan Moulay Ismail’s palace, records Ahmed ez-Zayyani; Algiers maintained a population of 25,000 white slaves between 1550 and 1730, and their numbers could double at certain times. During the same period, Tunis and Tripoli each maintained a white slave population of about 7,500. The Barbary pirates enslaved some 5,000 Europeans annually over a period of nearly three centuries.

(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.
