Express Concern to the International Olympic Committee about the 2014 Sochi Olympics

Created by Z.S. on August 28, 2013

We would like the Obama Administration to formally announce concern to the IOC about the location of the 2014 Olympic Games on behalf of the Circassians. The chosen host city is within the borders of historic Circassia, a country destroyed by military extermination and genocide. At least 300,000 Circassian civilians were directly killed, and the remainder were sent into a diaspora which even leads to our shores. 1/3rd of all refugees died on the journey. Our silence would be co-operation and perhaps support to the Russian genocide. We would not host the Olympic flag at Aushwitz, and the city the Circassians surrendered in should rightly be off limits. Circassian groups notified the IOC of this beforehand, but they continued anyway. Source: Oliver Bulloughs, "Let our Fame Be Great"
