“On December 23 about 11 p.m. three unknown men came to me in the street and threatened with weapon” – the chairman of “Circassian congress” stated. According to him those young men did not hide their faces and named themselves patriots of Russia. “They said that their threats were connected with “Circassian congress” activity and threatened to discredit and deprive everything that could be dear”.

Let’s note that is not the first incident of such threatening to the address of the leader of “Circassian congress”. He had been threatened with physical liquidation in spring 2006 on the eve of the Extraordinary congress of the Adygeya people on the question of preservation of Adygeya’s status. Under that fact the Office of Public prosecutor of Adygeya Republic instituted a criminal proceeding which some time later was closed.

In the opinion of “Circassian congress” of Israel, those threats concern not only the leader of the public movement as they are directed on intimidation of the whole Adygeyan community which has made the first steps to restoration of the historical justice. The genocide against the Adygeyan people, as “Circassian congress” of Israel considers, is one of the most horrible crimes in the history of the mankind; and the world community sooner or later should recognize that fact. So no threats of any “patriots” of Russia can stop the initiated process of the Adygs’ rehabilitation.

“Unfortunately, - Adnan Orkizh underlined in the conversation with Natpress correspondent, - as we see it from outside, “patriotism’ of those who commit such actions of terrorization does not contradict the position of the Russian authorities in relation to other national minorities not only Adygs. Nevertheless we call up these authorities to implement the proclaimed democratic principles, to initiate careful investigation of that fact, to find the criminals and to punish them”.
