Ethnic Circassians hold placards during a protest against the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in front of the Russian embassy in Amman February 7, 2014. Dozens of ethnic Circassians living in Jordan gathered for the demonstration on Friday. Circassians are a people indigenous to the North Caucasus region, most of whom were scattered across the globe by a 19th century tsarist military campaign that caused the deaths of huge numbers. Many Circassians have called for the killings to be recognised as genocide, and have campaigned against the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, set to take place in the very same broad valleys and mountain slopes they say hold the bones of their ancestors.
