Gennady Mikichura, The Premier of Adyghea in the Russian Federation held a meeting with The Adyghei intelligentsia and repatriates on the 21st of May 2003. Gennady Mikichura asked better relations with the Diaspora and transparent solutions for repatriate problems. "Repatriation must be encouraged and problems must be discussed with meetings," stated The Prime Minister.
Absence of Monument is due to politics
Premier Mikichura stressed on the importance of Diaspora and declared that he is in favor of founding "Adyghei Home." "Absence of monument in memory of Forced Migration is not an economic question but is due to politics," stated Mikichura.
Legal obstacles on Repatriation
Repatriates expressed their problems in Adyghea and stressed that repatriates are courageous people and need no financial state support. They are hard working people. Repatriation is an ongoing process and when evaluate the last 10 years we can't say that repatriation has been a success
with the exception of Kosovo Adygheis. It is a matter of organization and need firm repatriation policies.
Russian and Caucasus Diaspora difference
Russian Federation has enacted liberal policies to Russian repatriates but has acted with prejudice to The Adygheis and is not considering them as Diaspora of Russia and in its consequence "The Repatriation to Adyghea" is not successful.
Premier's promise
Gennady Mikichura, The Premier of Adyghea promised to push the subject with the Federal Government and referred to President Putin's efforts on Russian citizenship and interpreted it in favor of The Adyghei People. The Premier of Adyghea will welcome the participants of The World Circassian Congress after their regular Nalchik congress in August 2003. Russian businessmen will be among the guests to enjoy the audience of The Adyghea Premier. Agency Caucasus

MORE ADYGEIS FROM KOSOVA ARRIVE IN NORTH CAUCASUS. A group of 53 ethnic Adygeis, whose ancestors were forcibly resettled first to Ottoman Turkey and then to Kosova in the late 19th century, arrived in Maikop on 23 May, Russian agencies reported. A contingent of Adygeis evacuated earlier told "Die Presse" on 17 May that they are being subjected to discrimination in their ancestral homeland, that housing built especially for them has been occupied by others, and that they are unable to find work. They also expressed alarm at being unable to make telephone contact with other Adygeis who had remained in Kosova in the village of Donji Stanovci. RFE/RL Newsline 24.05.99
The Republic of Adygeya, which received a group of ethnic Adygeyans from Kosovo last year, would like to take in a second group. (Izvestiya, 20 April) EQI RRR v.4/n.15
