WILL MUSLIM HAMSHEN ARMENIANS BE BANISHED FROM KRASNODAR REGION?
"Hamshen" NGO expresses concern over the fate of Hamshen Armenians converted into Islam. President of "Hamshen", Ivan Krbashian, told Yerkramas newspaper of Krasnodar (Russia) that the authorities of Krasnodar region have refused for the 4th time to register "Hemshliner" cultural union of local Muslim Armenians. Krbashian thinks that the religion they practice is the main reason for refusal. It's not a secret that the representatives of International Organization for Migration transporting Meskhet Turks to the USA already talk of sending Hamshen Armenians the same direction together with Kurmanji-speaking Kurds. In 17th century, Armenians of Hamshen region of Western Armenia were forcefully converted into Islam, and a new ethno-religious group speaking Hamshen dialect of Armenian came into being. There were around 600 Muslim Armenians in Ajaria (Georgia) in 20s of 20th century. In 1944 Hamshen Armenians together with Meskhet Turks and Kurds were exiled to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. In 70s, part of them resettled in the region of Krasnodar, and today around 1000 Muslim Hamshen Armenians live in Apsheron, Belorechensk and other settlements of the region.
