Ermeli

Cherkesogai, or Circassian Armenians ; sometimes referred to as Ermeli, Mountainous Armenians or Transkuban Armenians, are ethnic Armenians who have inhabited Russia's Krasnodar Krai and Republic of Adyghea since the end of the 15th century and spoke the Adyghe language, in contrast to other Armenians living in the region. They reside mostly in the cities of Armavir and Maykop. The total number of Cherkesogai is about 50,000 people. According to the Russian 2002 Census, 230 Armenians speak Lowland Adyghe and 222 speak Kabardian Adyghe natively.
