As a response to MAY21 initiative’s “Call To Action”, demonstrations to protest denial of Circassian Genocide were held in front of the Russian Federation Embassies and Consulates in Turkey, United States, Germany, Israel and Jordan on Saturday May 21, 2011 - the 147th anniversary of the Circassian Genocide.

MAY21 organizers emphasize that this common initiative will not be limited to MAY21; it will continue to bring attention of the Circassian Genocide internationally while continuing global No Sochi 2014 campaign activities throughout the year.

This year, contribution to the organizations provided by Circassian Diaspora in Syria was limited due to conditions in the country not favorable to hold demonstrations. However, representatives of Circassian activists in Syria stated that alongside improving conditions in the country, Circassians in Syria will also take action to join the global movement of solidarity.
