May 21 – Memorial Day of Caucasian war

Abkhazian President has attended the ceremony of laying flowers to the Muhajirs monument in Sukhum.

Today is the 150th anniversary of the end of the Russian-Caucasian war after which thousands of Abkhazians were compelled to leave their historical Homeland and move to the Ottoman Empire. Descendants of Abkhazian muhajirs live in the Middle East countries mainly. The most numerous Abkhazian diaspora is in Turkey.
