- Abstract
- The present paper offers an analysis of the Turkish Circassians’ reaction to the assassination of the Russian Ambassador in Ankara on December 19th, 2016. It is focused on the key factors, which influence on the views of the Turkish Circassians. That includes primarily their political, ideological and religious identities. Due to the identity paradigm chosen they prefer to link the assassination to the activities of the following groups: Islamic extremists, the Gulen movement, the secret services of USA and Israel. Differences in these versions are investigated in a broad context of social and political situation in Turkey, Turkish discussions on the nature of terrorism, Russian and Turkish military involvement in Syria.
