Circassian Majlis

The Circassian Majlis (Adyghe: Хасэ) was a political and resistance council which formed in 1860 after a meeting in Sochi (Adyghe: Шъачэ) between the leaders of three coastal Adyghe tribal confederations: the Shapsugs, the Natukhai, and the Ubykh. The first resolution of the Majlis was to consider Sochi as a location for the Majlis and to consider it as a capital for the whole Circassia, and the remaining resolutions were to unite the tribal banners under only one flag, to unify military command, and to organize attacks on the Russian military outposts on the coast.
