Adyghe community of Israel seeks coming homeland

Editor

ADYGEYA, October 2, Caucasus Times, – The question has been raised at a meeting with Adygheya’s President by a delegation of the Adyghe diaspora visiting the republic’s festivities celebrating its anniversary and the 3rd festival of Adyghe culture. The guests met with President Sovemen on September 30 to ask his aid in solving legal procedures for granting the naturalization for the potential repatriates from the Adyghe community of Israel, who would be willing to return to their homeland and could afford all costs for moving and settling in Russia.

The Adyghe people living abroad have been much concerned over the Russian authorities’ move to tough naturalization legislation. The modern law granting Russian citizenship has made it almost impossible for the Adyghes to return to the homeland qualifying them just as foreigners who could be naturalized, if any, enduring a very a long time being deprived of many legal rights. Understanding the situation in today’s world being quite complicated due to terrorism threats the Adyghes of Israel believe the legislation could be more preferential to native Adyghes, just the way Israel or Germany treat their repatriates.

The Adyghes (Circassians), the indigenous people of the Northwest Caucasus who had inhabited the region for several thousand years were forced to leave their motherland by Russian czar’s troops in late 19 century.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement.
