 Between March 6 and May 21, 1864, the entire Ubykh nation had departed the Caucasus for Turkey, where they linguistically vanished.By the end of the movement, more than 400,000 Circassians, as well as 200,000 Abkhazians and Ajars, fled to Turkey.The term "Çerkes", "Circassians", became the blanket term for them in Turkey because the majority were Adyghe.
