We have them in Yemen too but most of them today just say they are Turkic Ottomans. The reason why I know is because my great grandma (a centurion) said that the soldiers stationed in our city were Sharkas which is the Arabic word for Circassian
Also I want to, not correct, but rather give more insight on something. Circassians boys were wanted because of their warlike culture and not because they were thought of as disposable. Also, the mothers of many of the emperors and sultans were Circassian

The Mongols invaded South Russia and Middle East and created Golden Horde Crimean Khanate . But Russia under Czardom Annexed It and committed genocide against Turkic Mongols of South Russia in late 18th century CE.
Have always been interested in this Q so thanks for sharing this afikra. A warrior nation well known for their valor. I thought that Chechnians and Daghestanis were part of that Circassian culture and not distinct from it.
@@tcherkess9695 the Chechen fought till the end and stay on their land mostly. Circassian failed because they are divided and tribes fought among each others. There was a tribes that supported the Russian and the others support the Ottoman. After the Ottoman lost Crimean War...all were lost. If Circassia fully supported and united with the Ottoman they might still survived.

isn't that a giving and should has been known? Many Greek, Egyptian, Romans, Slav, Armenian, Georgian, and other people who live under the Ottoman empire married among each others and also intermarried with the Arabs and Persian and Turks. That is why in the Levants and North Africa many Arabs doesn't look Arabs because they were not ethnically Arabs but culturally Arabs. Ottoman Empire was a cosmopolitan melting pot. They were united not by nationalism but by religion.

@@mikemalzahn it was a massacre and the Island is still populated by Greeks, as is the country of Armenia. Where is Circassia? It was erased. The Armenians and Chios and Greeks all have a privilege that the Circassians don’t.

@@mikemalzahn killing someone is not acceptable in any circumstance. The Gaza genocide is ongoing and it is unknown what the final outcome will be. The Chios “massacre” was also not coupled with a call for ceasefire which all Gazan civilians and ruling organizations agreed to.

Keep on going because discussions like this ate important.
There is also Circassian in my country Malaysia, but we call them Turks. They came here during the ottoman empire, the local Sultan in Johor Malaysia was given a Circassian women by the Ottoman Sultan to be married and one of her descendance became Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Unfortunately, there’s no independence at all in those three republics. It is even restricted to say about genocide and mourning our ancestors, who gave their lives for our independence and well-being. Now, we’re simply occupied by russians. But nothing will be forgotten.
Fascinating! Btw, the Ottomans used the Circassians to settle them in strategic locations e.g. the settlement of Circassians in Amman was intended to protect against attacks by the Bedouins; Qunaytra in the Golan was settled by Circassians to disrupt the geographical links between the Druze of the Golan and Djebel El Druze

Circassians in the diaspora and also other North Caucasians should strive to return to Northern Caucasia. I understand its difficult since we are still occupied by russia, however we soon will have our sovereignty back.
we are also occupied by Islam. Amir Timur was a Muslim, the Arabs who occupied Dagestan in 7th century were Muslims , it were the Muslims who ensl@ved women from Caucasus and sold them ...
My parents are from Lebanon, I did a genetic test and turns out I am part Circassian, which I found interesting and I learned about the Circassian people and how they ended up in the Middle East.
Very interesting as my father is from Lebanon and his gene test said he was 2% Georgian. We're Muslims and no one has any idea how those genes got there but I'm wondering if Circassian is relevant
I have always wondered why there are no people of Circassian origin in Lebanon, yet they are in surrounding countries like Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Palestine. Though in Lebanon there are Kurds, Turks, Turkmen, and Armenians, just no Circassians.
There are several Circassian families who moved from Golan Heights into Lebanon in the 70s and 80s , but lately we started hearing of people in Lebanon claiming to be Circassians, they're claiming to be around 100k, which is ridiculous, obviously they're fake, but idk what are their intentions!!
@@tcherkess9695 I think that information is misleading. I grew up in Lebanon until my mid 20s and I had never heard of any person of Circassian origin.
@@Iamfsaly I would not say so. Hardly anyone knows what a Circassian is in the Arab world unless they are known. The vast majority of the Circassian diaspora and other North Caucasians live in Turkey and they are more well known there considering that 95% of North Caucasian diaspora lives in Turkey.
he had not two wives, he had sl@ves sold to him by ottomans because islam allows it. Caucasians and the Muslim-Arab world are like day and night. Islam and Russia are occupants and as we know, all Islamic / Arabic countries support Russia.

I met a Turkish woman in Turkey. She said she was of Circassian descent. She looked nothing like Turkish, looked like a Dutch. 180 cm tall blonde blue eyes
There's Bulgarian families with the name Cherkezov. I think the Circassians should return to their homeland in Russia and start buying property there. No one's gonna stop them.
Abkhazia is a region of Georgia🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪, not a separate state. When you do any research, you should at least have a good knowledge of the history. You should also respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia. If you are interested in the history of the Circassians, visit the Caucasus and you will learn a lot about these people.
I agree. I’m American 🇺🇸 of Mesopotamian descent. A Chaldean Catholic who’s roots go back millennials with the most popular king of the Babylonian empire and that’s of course being king Nebuchadnezzar since 627 BCE and toppled by the Persian king Cyrus. The Chaldeans were there from the time of the Sumerians (8000-10,000 yrs old). I did a DNA test 4-5 yrs ago and returned results that stunned me, reason as follows : 60% Caucasian and surround towns and villages with an extended map of the Caucasian region of northwestern Turkey, with the heaviest concentration in Armenia and Georgia. I don’t know how this happened as Georgia is light years away from Babylon ! There aren’t any reliable information as to why how when who or what is all very vague, when you think you may have an answer, there are equally counter arguments that looks just as convincing. Can’t deny DNA ! ! My entire family and relatives look Georgians and Armenians, rather that whole region. Do you have any info to help me research, all I look at is obscure and vague.
@@genesis2936 The northwest of Turkey, as part of the Caucasus, was historically inhabited by Kartvelian (Georgian-Caucasian) tribes. You will also know that Turkey has annexed a large part of the territories of Georgia and Armenia. People living in the Caucasus are genetically related to each other. As for Sumerians and Chaldeans, there is an assumption that Georgians are genetically related to them.
short answer: because of Islam, it were the Ottomans and Arabs who ensl@ved Circassian women and used men as soldiers. Circassia needs to leave Islam. - Chechen ExMuslim
