Presidents of the Circassian Confederation
Circassian nationalism[1][2][a] is the desire among Circassians worldwide to preserve their genes, heritage and culture,[3][4][5] save their language from extinction,[2][6][7] raise awareness about the Circassian genocide,[8][9][10] return to Circassia[11][12][13][14] and establish a completely autonomous or independent Circassian state in its pre-Russian invasion borders.[13][14][15]
In almost every community of Circassians around the world, a local advisory council called the "Adyghe Khase" can be found.[16] The goal of such councils are to provide Circassians with a comfortable place where they can speak Circassian, engage in Circassian cultural activities, learn about the laws of Adyghe Xabze or seek advice. These advisory councils are coordinated on a local and regional basis, and communicate internationally through the International Circassian Association (ICA).[17]
