Dear Brother Zamir Shukhov and Ibrahim Yaghan
Thank you very much for your presentation in the ‘’Russian Federations social PALATA’’ I hope your presentation influenced in who ever concern that subject.. If you let met that I like to indicate some points of your presentation: In any letters, presentetaions or declerations concern Russian Federation and Caucasian issue that we have to know the constitution of RF. Especially concern articles of ‘’Human Rights’’ and our nations too.. As I pointed for(-before-) a meeting between DUMA and delegations of Kongress (World Circassian Union) that there are some important articles in the constitution of RF.( in Cherkessia.net 12 May 2011 by Turkish) … Article 17/1—‘’Universal principles and norms of the Russian Federation in accordance with international law and in accordance with this constitution Human and Citizen Rights and Freedoms are recognized and guaranteed..’’ So all so we have to know all declerations and agreements concern human rights (Human Rights= ethnic, minority, religious, linguistic, social, cultural,ant assimilation, dual citizenship etc…. ) Article 16/1—Universal principles and norm of international law in the Russian Federation and Russia’s agreements, a part of Russian legal system. If the Russian Federation, the internatinal agreement, a provision is set forth in the law prescribed, complies with provisions of international agreements. Article 17/2—Of human rights and freedom is CONGENITAL Article 2—Human, his/her rights and freedoms the supreme values, of human and citizen rights and freedoms to recognize and protect the STAT’S DUTY to obey. Article 29-- ….subctance against RACIZM.. ‘’ 55--…..the fundemental rights and freedoms, FORMULATED by REFERENCE to UNIVERSAL RIGHTS.. Articles 62—Articles about DUAL citizenship and RIGHTS.. Article 69-- The rights of MINORITIES are dealt with according UNIVERSAL PRENCIPLES and NORMS . Article 71—Guarantees the fulfilment of INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. Article 72—Again the rights of MINORITIES..
Dear Zamir and Ibrahim
Please let me point some sentences from UN.Decleration on the RİGHTS of INDIGENOUS PEOPLES: ‘’Affirming that indigenous peoples are equal to all other peoples, while recognizing the right of all peoples to be different, to consider themselves different, and to be respected as such,’’ ‘’Recognizing the urgent need to respect and promote the inherent rights of indigenous peoples which derive from their political, economic and social structures and from therir cultures, spiritual traditions, histories and philosophies, especially their rights to their lands, territories and resorurces,’’ ‘’Welcoming the fact that indigenous peoples are organizing themselves for political, economic, social and cultural enhancement and in order to bring to an end all forms of discrimination and oppression whereever they occur,’’ ‘’Acknowledging that the Charter of the United nations, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rihts (2) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 2 as well as the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, (3) affirm the fundamental importance of the right to self-determination of all peoples, by virtue of which they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development,’’ And some articles from DECLARATION on the RİGHTS of INDIGENOUS PEOPLES… Artcle 1—Indigenous peoples have the right to the full enjoyment, as a collective or as individuals, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognized in the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Decleration of Human Rights(4) and international human rights law. Article 6—Every indigenous individual has the right to a nationality. Article 8—1. Indigenous peoples and individuals have the right not to be subjected to forced assimilation or destruction of their culture. 2. States shell provide effective mechanisms for preventation of, and redsress for: (a) Any action which has the aim odr effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their culturel values or ethnic identies; (b) Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resourcies; (c) Any form of forced population transfer which has to aim or effect of violating or undermining any of their rights; (d) Any form of forced assimilation or integration; (e) Any form of propoganda designed to promote or incite racial or ethnic discrimination directed against them. Article 18—Indigenous peoples have the right to participate in decision-making in matters which would effect their rights, through representatives chosen by themselves in accordance with their own procedures, as well as to maintain and develop their own indigenous decision-making institutions. Article 33—1. Indigenous peoples has the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions. This does not impair the right of indigenous indivduals to obtain citizenship of the States in which they live. 2. Indigenous peoples have the right to determine the structures and to select the membership of their institutions in accordance with their own procedures. And more and more.. According to all this, to give diaspora Circassians citizenship should not be new a prerequesite. Priorities related to international agreements the Russian Constitıtion, which is stil in force, civic laws and regulations, CONTRARY to the CONSTITUTION of RUSSIA. So your article 3. (Morally) : 3 / 3 a –Must be, removal of the requirement of knowing the language, ‘’Instead the State must provide language training to newcomers from diaspora’’ 3 / 3 b—Any such restriction is not appropriate ( to live in Caucasia 1 year or some years conditions) 4 – Very nice offer… And I think we need a ‘’Placement committee’’ that it must have some sections and very complicate programs….. These are need special work that it has strong infrastructure…… Our exile time there were ‘’Placement Committee’’ in the Ottoman Empire. How did they work, that it was not clear completely. But there were some clear, that Ottoman were need ‘’HUMAN RESOURCES’’, as warriors. And they settled us to the front of problematic areas.. Now HISTORY are going to smile to us (as your written. And it is tru..) Russia will need in short future ‘’HUMAN RESOURCES’’… This must give us some lessons.. Your Symposium and other activities and related developments I expect good news..
With my best wishes..

Çerkes Diasporasının yol haritası olabilecek bir rapor.Ayrına Atayurdundaki kardeşlerimize de yol gösterici mahiyette.
Yapacağım öncelikli eleştirim sürgün ve soykırımın çok yumuşatılmış veya diplomatik kelimelerle ifadesi:
",,,Rusya İmparatorluğunun sınırlarını genişletmek için sert politikalar izlediği döneme uzanıyor.Kuzey-Batı Kafkasya da yaşayan halkların büyük çoğunluğu ciddi bir askeri baskı ile Osmanlı İmparatorluğuna zorla
tahliyeleri ile vatanlarını kaybettiler ve 19 yüzyıldaki en geniş kapsamlı insanlık insanlık tragedyasına uğradılar."
Adını koymadan soykırım ve sürgünün iyi ifadesi.Bu konuda diplomatik tavır gerekebilir.daha sonra da soykırım ifadeside kullanılıyor ki çoğu diaspora Çerkesinin kulağına küpe olsun.Hala soykırım sözcüğünü kullanamayanlar için söylüyorum,
Raporda Çerkeslerin kadim ata yurduna dönmelerinin Rusya Federasyonu açısından faydaları sıralanıyor:meseleye sosyal-ekonomik,
toplumsal-politik,ahlaki-etik bakımdan başlıklar halinde sıralanıyor.
Dönecekler için sağlanması gereken bürokratik kolaylıklar için taleplerde bulunuluyor.
Özet olarak çok olumlu bir gelişme
