INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST
CIRCASSIAN ASSOCIATIONS FEDERATION
Submission Deadline: September 15, 2014

SUBJECT: "Circassians’ Bleeding Wound: Genocide; The Crime of the Crimes"
In todays literature the name of the events that are performed by Russians during their attacks and occupation with a disproportionate power in the Caucasus is called Genocide.
• The Russian Historian P. P. Korolenko writes in his book in "Chernomorts" published in 1874: "During the year 1825, our detachments were destroying beyond Kuban and destroying the villages of highlanders. Fire and raid that killed thousands of Circassians, also the survivors were dying of starvation and disease because food and fuel reserves were also destroyed..."
• Again, the Russian Tsar Alexander II, in a letter he wrote June 24, 1861 to the Kuban Cossack Army Commander Adjutant General Yevdakimov was saying: "Now, with the God's help and the invasion of entire Caucasus entirely has been reached to an end. After that, the task to do with a few years of hard work is to exile the hostile mountaineers from their country and place Russian Christian population to their place where they will live there permanently" (Caucasian War on archive materials and Circassians in Turkey expulsion (1848-1874), Nalchik - 2003, p. 80-81).
• In 21 May 1864, Russian Army had held a Celebration Parade for the victory they had from the Russian-Caucasian War in Sochi Kbaada (Krasnaya Polyana) region. General Fedayev records that day as follows: "Everything that is done with gunpowder and bullets ended however, there is no peace to us as the mountain people that is kept by coast to be delivered (to Ottoman Empire) are still there. They has to be sent to the Ottoman Empire." (RA Fedayev, Caucasus Letters, The Complete Works, Saint Petersburg 1889, v.1, Part 1, p. 197)
Indeed it was ...; nearly to 2 million of Circassian were removed from the territory and sent to the Ottoman Empire.
All of those acts is according to the article 2 of the "UN Convention on Prevention of Genocide and Punishment" and in Article 6 of "the Statute of the International Criminal Court" are listed as the "acts of genocide".
***
Circassians are for 150 years suffering from this genocide and deportations.
As a result of genocide and exile,
Circassians whom were removed from their homeland and distributed to the 40 countries of the world,
Lost the advantage of ensuring their continued existence "by living in a geographical area with a demographic density"
Due to the dissolution of their population in geographical areas they deported to, has come under the threat of assimilation,
Today both in homeland and in Diaspora they are in a position where they can not preserve their national language and culture.
***
In order to increase the awareness of the Circassian genocide and exile practiced, Circassian Associations Federation have held an International Cartoon Contest named, ‘Genocide: The Crime of the Crimes’, in consideration of the effectiveness of the art of cartooning with its language that delivers fast and clear messages to the public.
