In August of this year, we wrote that the Circassians (adyghe), scattered all over the world, do not miss a single opportunity to participate in conferences or festivals in order to present to the world this beautiful Circassian people with their beautiful history, culture and customs. Then we wrote about the Circassians of Canada who participated in the festival in Notre Dame de Grasse.
This time we will tell you about the Circassians of Antalya (Turkey) who participated in the Festival of Regions and Colors that took place in Muratpaşa of Antalya in September of this year. This is the ninth annual festival in which 80 different associations participate.
The Circassian Association for History and Social Research operating in Antalya was among the participants in the festival. The association set up a stand displaying books about Circassians and Circassia, clothing, jewelry and accessories, and many items from Circassian culture.
The city of Antalya has a Circassian community of several thousand people, who are organized into several different Circassian associations. There are two Circassian villages near the city.
