KAFFED explained
The KAFFED or the Federation of Caucasian Associations (;) is the largest Circassian association in Turkey and is a union of Circassian and other North Caucasian associations from various provinces of Turkey.[4] The Federation describes itself as "criticizing Russia's authoritarian attitude that ignores the existence and rights of the North Caucasian peoples".[5] The KAFFED Chairman has been banned from entering the Russian Federation.[6] KAFFED was the founding member of the International Circassian Association (ICA)[7] until it left in 2022 due to "ICA acting as a Russian puppet organisation".[8]
KAFFED organizes Circassian Genocide commemoration events every year.[9] [10] After the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, they coordinated with the Circassian associations in the region and provided assistance.[11] [12]
