21 is a one-hour historical journey, explaining the details of the eras since the beginning of the Tsarist Russia's war and Circassians heroes to this day
It's a docudrama film that resembles a documentary-style genre that features dramatized re-enactment of some scenes of the immigration actual historical events from that era with a new modern and contemporary style, in addition to a variety of old scenes that explain the suffering our ancestors went through from such migration, the secret of their resettlement in many of the Arab countries, the reasons for Tsarist Russia's war and their ambitions in the Caucasus. The film will interview a number of Circassian figures, including Dr. Mohammed Khair Mamser and other Circassian and Jordanian intellectual heroes.

Xurome [Khurome] (хъуромэ) is an ancient pre-Christian festival that was transformed and adapted into Christmas when the Kabardians converted to Christianity in the Middle Ages.

The Orthodox Christian Kabardians of Mozdok (Kabarda Minor) still chant “Xurome” as a Christmas carol/prayer. They celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January every year.

My fathers side is Circassian, my mothers side is Turkish.
I want to make clear that commercial results like MyHeritage are not accurate at all! It doesnt include any references to Turkish populations so we always get Greek and West-Asian results because that is their only elements that are geographically close to Turkey. That is why its adviced to upload the Raw DNA file to Gedmatch and use their Admixture calculators for better results.

Circassians bid to save ancient language

Tens of thousands of Circassians, an ethnic group originating from Russia's Caucasus region, are believed to be living in Syria.<br /><br />But now many of them are trying to return to their ancestral homeland. <br /><br />The majority of the community are supporting the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and they fear reprisals if the opposition takes over.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Sue Turton reports from Nalchik in northern Caucasus.

Syria is a country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Israel to the southwest. The name Syria formerly comprised the entire region of the Levant, while the modern state encompasses the site of several ancient kingdoms and empires, including the Eblan civilization of the third millennium BC. In the Islamic era, its capital city, Damascus, was the seat of the Umayyad Empire and a provincial capital of the Mamluk Empire. Damascus is widely regarded as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Modern Syria was created as a French mandate and attained independence in April 1946, as a parliamentary republic. The post-independence period was rocky, and a large number of military coups and coup attempts shook the country in the period 1949-1970. Syria has been under Emergency Law since 1962, effectively suspending most constitutional protections for citizens, and its system of government is considered non-democratic. The country has been governed by the Baath Party since 1963, although actual power is concentrated to the presidency and a narrow grouping of military and political strongmen. Syria's current president is Bashar al-Assad, who won a referendum on extending his presidency for second term, garnering 97.62 percent of votes in 2007 and is the son of Hafez al-Assad, who held office from 1970 until his death in 2000. Syria has played a major regional role, particularly through its central role in the Arab conflict with Israel, which since 1967 has occupied the Golan Heights, and by active involvement in Lebanese and Palestinian affairs. The population is mainly Sunni Muslim, but with significant Alawite, Shia, Christian and Druze minorities. Since the 1960s, Alawite military officers have tended to dominate the country's politics. Ethnically, some 80% of the population is Arab, and the state is ruled by the Baath Party according to Arab nationalist principles, while approximately 20% belong to the Kurdish, Armenian, Assyrian, Turkmen, and Circassians minorities.

Russian traffic police discovered an unusual passenger when they pulled over a car for speeding in in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic last weekend. The police officers stopped the car as its driver hastily raced down the road over the speed limit. The two passengers were attempting to hide a cow in the back seat and police soon discovered that the men had stolen the cow from a farm nearby. The cow is now with its owner and the thieves will face charges.<br />
