On the 162nd anniversary of the Circassian Genocide and Exile of May 21, 1864, we remember with mercy, respect, and reverence the Circassian people who were torn from their homeland, endured great suffering on the roads of exile, and lost their lives.

With the hope that this pain, which left deep marks on the memory of humanity, will not be forgotten, we share the great sorrow experienced by the Circassian people.
