Circassians in Istanbul, Turkey, commemorate the banishment of their ancestors from their homeland by Russia on May 21, 2011.
A war in 1864 near the Black Sea port city of Sochi resulted in a defeat for the Circassians and saw the empire invade all of Caucasia, a region extending from the eastern Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. Turkish Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun commemorated those who lost their lives in this painful incident."The suffering of the Circassian exiles, a black mark on human history, has not been forgotten, even though it has been 155 years," Altun said.
"We share the pain of our kinsmen, the Crimean Tatars, as well as brotherly peoples of the Caucasus and respectfully honour the memory of those who lost their lives during these exiles," Aksoy said in a written statement.The Turkey-based Federation of the Caucasian Associations, also known as Kaffed, organised a memorial event on Saturday for the 155th anniversary of exile.

Opinion | Trump Can’t Afford to Go Soft on TurkeyOpinion: President Trump lambastes allies who fail to pull their weight.

That should help a lot when we go to war with Iran. JSchanzer Rudy’s clients? MeK.
