We,the members of the Organization Committee of No Sochi 2014,we are Circassians and we are back. No Sochi OG in Russia!

We can not understand the rationale behind the IOC’s decision to select Sochi, furthermore,we could not help asking what if one of the candidates to host the Olympic Games had been Auschwitz.Would it be of conscience and acceptable to select Auschwitz,where 1.5million people were systematically starved,tortured and murdered,as the Olympic host?In a similar vein,we ask how we are supposed to accept the Olympic Games to be played in Sochi and its surroundings which became a cemetery for Circassians as a result of the Russian invasion of Circassia during the Russo-Caucasian war in the 18th and 19th centuries.For Circassians,the wound inflicted by the Russia will never heal.1.5million Circassians killed was half of all Circassians alive in the entire world at that time.
