FEDERATION of EUROPEAN CIRCASSIANS : Commemoration ceremony of the genocide and the exile of the North Caucasian Peoples on May 21, 1864
Dear Friends,
On May 21, the genocide of the North Caucasian peoples and their banishment from the Caucasus will be remembered for the 145th time. To commemorate this tragic event, each year, the Federation of European Circassians invites all of our fellow citizens to a memorial ceremony. Host this year is the Nordkaukasischer Kultur Verein Berlin eV.
Speakers from Germany and Turkey will throw a deep understanding on the context and the terrible consequences of this genocide, which is with more than 1.5 million deaths believed to be one of the worst genocide in human history.
The memorial ceremony under the motto "We will not forget ...!" extends over three days and takes place from May 22 till May 24 in Berlin. The active event will offer the participants next ...
Vienna, March 9 – On the 65th anniversary of the Stalin-era deportation of the Balkars, activists of that national group said that the Soviet dictator had taken that step in order to transfer part of their territory to the Georgian SSR, a charge that could have contemporary relevance given Moscow’s continuing campaign against Georgia. Yesterday, the leaders of the Balkar nation held a meeting in memory of the deportation of the Balkar people to the wilds of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in 1944, an action as the result of which more than a third of the members of this Turkic people died and one which continues to cast a shadow on the North Caucasus (www.kavkaz-uzel.ru/articles/150579). On the one hand, disputes between the Balkars and the Kabardinians continue not only over political power ...

Chechen-Ingush deportation
February 23 was the 65th anniversary of Josef Stalin’s deportation of the Chechen and Ingush—accused by the Soviet dictator of collaborating with the Nazis—to Kazakhstan and elsewhere in the Soviet Union. Kavkazky Uzel reported on the day of this year's anniversary that all of Chechnya’s mosques would be marking the anniversary with religious ceremonies and prayers in memory of the victims of the 1944 deportation and that ritual sacrifices would also take place across the republic, with the meat from sacrificed animals donated to poor families.
In Ingushetia, several thousand people, including representatives of public organizations, government officials—among them Ingush President Yunus-bek Yevkurov—representatives from Chechnya and Kabardino-Balkaria, and ordinary residents of Ingushetia, gathered in the former Ingush capital, ...
Vienna, February 26 – In order to counter Kyiv’s insistence that Stalin carried out a genocide in Ukraine in the 1930s, an insistence that is at the core of the definition of the Ukrainian nation, Moscow has released new documents suggesting that the Soviet dictator engaged in a criminal campaign of mass murder across the entire Soviet Union. Yesterday, Vladimir Kozlov, the head of Russia’s Federal Archives Agency, told a Moscow press conference that the famine in Ukraine and elsewhere in the USSR was “the result of [Stalin’s] criminal policy” but that “of course, no one planned any famine” or singled out any ethnic group as its victim (rian.ru/society/20090225/163170651.html). Instead, he said, “the famine was the result of the errors and miscalculations of the political course of the leadership of the ...
