Abazinia

During the rule of Kabardians, Crimeans, and Russians, some Abazins were forcibly resettled from their homeland.

On April 26 of that same year, it was made a part of the Cherkess Autonomous Oblast, Stavropol Krai.

An Abazin diaspora exists in Turkey,[2] Jordan,[citation needed] Syria,[citation needed] Egypt (which features the Abaza family, the largest aristocratic family in Egypt),[3] and other Islamic countries, most of which are descendants of refugees (muhajirs) from the Caucasian War with the Russian Empire.

An estimated 150,000 Abazins live in the provinces of Eskişehir, Samsun, Yozgat, Adana and Uzunyayla, Kayseri (the long plateau).

Most of them belong to the Ashkharua clan that fought against the Tsarist army and emigrated to Turkey after losing the battle of Kbaada (Krasnaya Polyana in today's Sochi), whereas the Tapanta clan fought with the Russian forces.
