Abstract

It should be noted that the Abkhazian and Circassian diasporas are present in the largest numbers in Turkey, Syria and Jordan. They came to these cou­n­tries in the 19th century as a result of mass deportations by the Caucasus War and the Russian Empire.

      And a large influx of ethnic Abkhazians arrived in Russia (Especially Moscow) after the 1992-1993 war. Most of the descendants of Abkhazian Muhajirs live in Tu­r­key. After the 19th century Caucasian War, a significant part of the autochthonous Caucasian population, including Abkhazians, was forced to emigrate to the Ottoman Empire. \Abkhazians are ethnic groups that seek to preserve and develop their own cultural and ethnic identity in the socio-political space of the Turkish state and under existing law.
