Now that I know though, it kinda changed the whole perception of Sharkas i had, I can relate to them in many aspects! these people fought the Russians for their lives and homeland for over a hundred years, and the result was thousands of casualties, a genocide really, and 90% of their people deported and scattered all over the world! that's the story in a nutshell.
The thing I always noticed about Sharkas ever since is their pride of being Sharkas; the flags, the bumper stickers and all that, now I don't only understand it, but I respect it tremendously actually.
I really don't know how come in my 26 years I never heard about this in school or elsewhere!! better late than never I guess.
read more about the Russian-Circassion war and genocide.

Hello Naser, thx 4 this post. As a chechen guy I can relate to this deeply & painfully.
Quqaz region had always gone through tough times -still!- fighting the Soviet Union "now Russia".
Genocides were performed to Circassian people amongst others.
It is a memory that we shall never forget! bsically ruined lives of millions.
(Just for info: Chechen genocide was on the 23 of Feb.)
Again, thx 4 the post Naser, it is nice to see people who care :).

you too? I think we're so caught up in our own struggle that we didn't care to know more about others, which is somewhat ironic.

you're welcome and thx for your input, my question though, is it a goal for your people to go back there or not?
Rula
what else do u know and u r keeping from us ? :p
Hello Naser, about yr Q.: well, for my generation and upwards; it is hard to do so! see my father was born in Jordan, it is my grandfather who immigrated some 140years ago.
Nevertheless, a lot of people do go back - including young generations - but the majority just visit and come back.
Our roots are from Quqaz but we r by allllll means Jordanians.
