N2  - Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, theconcept of returning to the ancestral homeland in the Caucasus for the Adygeand Abkhaz living in Turkey existed only as a dream, an ideal, a myth. With thecollapse of the Soviet Union homeland became accessible and the possibility ofvisiting it became a reality. Some who were defending the idea of returnism (anideology advocating re-settlement in the homeland) and had the opportunity wentto the Caucasus. While some decided not to settle down seeing the conditions ofthe homeland, some, with a decision to burn all the bridges, moved to thehomeland for good. Since 1991, the ideology of return has been transformedaccording to the conditions of travel and communication.Thisarticle looks at the four periods of return of the Adyge and Abkhaz from Turkeyto the ancestral homeland in the last twenty five years. The first is the earlyperiod when travel and communication was hardest. The second is the stagnationperiod covering the time between 1995 and 2005 that was characterised, botheconomically and politically, by the stagnation in the Caucasus as a result ofwhich return migration almost came to a halt. The third is the transnationalperiod starting in 2005 when travel between Turkey and the Caucasus becameeasier and cheaper. The last period starting in 2015 with the airplane crisisbetween Russia and Turkey went on for months with constantly changing dynamics.The data for this paper has been collected through participant observation,in-depth and life-story interviews that I have conducted since 2005 whiletravelling between the Republic of Abkhazia, the Republic of Adygeya andTurkey. In 2013, my fieldwork was supported by the MIREKOC PhD ResearchFunding. This article discusses return migration of the Adyge and Abkhaz ofTurkey to the North Caucasus – their ancestral homeland - in the last 25 years,and how the concept of return has transformed from migration to transnationalmobility.
