Berzeg Murat: "We Will Not Stop Here!"

RFE/RL North Caucasian service in the Circassian language made interview with the Chairman of "Circasian Congress" Berzeg Murat asking him to explain about how the "Circassian Congress" was created and how it works in concern with the impacts that the Russian-Caucasian War brought with it, and also about the organization's appeal to the State Duma of Russia and to the European Parliament to recognize the Circassian Genocide, Radio Adiga publishes the translation. Berzeg Murat: The Adygs (Circassians) had not organization to raise the main question of Adigas, to start and to work with it; we could not manage such organization so far. Therefore, we had to create the "Circassian Congress". What happened to Adygs was only discussed till now but was not written in juristic language. Hence, the "Circassian Congress" collected and prepared many doubtless papers from archives according to laws and measures of the current world that should be attached not adding anything from what Adygs said, but only written in juristic language papers of crimes made by Russian Generals and Officers, the document named "Genocide" was sent to the "Russian State Duma". The paper it (Duma) replied has no sense, they said "no!", but you can't understand that "no!". Nevertheless it satisfied us because we knew that Russia will not recognize it. But then when Russia says "no!" we had the option to enter Europe to communicate the world by addressing the OON (United Nations Organization), when then we received the "no!", we sent a document to the European Parliament describing what happened to Adygs and our situation today also according to the worldly laws it is Genocide, thus we addressed the Democratic states and nations of Europe and sent the European Parliament to recognize what happened to the Adygs/Circassians as a Genocide and to tell Russia to recognize the Geoncide. Now we wait their answer and to the one who will put it in the court in the European Parliament, it have to be mentioned that other some countries started to view and to state their worries in this matter. Now, what have to be said is, when you ask if our situation is good today? The meaningless "on paper" given republics, whether they are good, if we are satisfied with it or we will stop here? no! Most of our nation is still in exile. Those people who say things like: "It's ok now, we stop here, don't let us say anymore..." are people of lack of intellect, if you don't agree with that, then they are people with intellect who were given money not to allow to raise this question and to mislead other Adygs. Surely, as far as the nation is not being one, as far as the the Adygs all around the world does not return, as far as the lands we had were not being returned, you can't say that Genocide did not took place, the Genocide is still going on until the nation is being one, that is the opinion, the conduct of "Circassian Congress", that is what we deal with, that is our way which we go through and we will go through."
