And there are two of these in this puzzle (See 35A).

This region was subsequently absorbed in 63 BC into the Kingdom of Lazica. Arrian, Pliny and Strabo have given accounts of the Abasgoi and Moschoi peoples somewhere in modern Abkhazia on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. Around the 6th century BC, the Greeks established trade colonies along the Black Sea coast of present-day Abkhazia, in particular at Pitiunt and Dioscurias.Ĭlassical authors described various peoples living in the region and the great multitude of languages they spoke. Main article: History of Abkhazia Early history īetween the 9th and 6th centuries BC, the territory of modern Abkhazia was part of the ancient Georgian kingdom of Colchis. Ī common spelling in the English language before the 20th century was Abhasia. The state is formally designated as the "Republic of Abkhazia" or "Apsny". Abkhazia's name in most languages are derived directly from the Russian. The Russian Абхазия ( Abkhaziya) is adapted from the Georgian აფხაზეთი ( Apkhazeti). In early Muslim sources, the term "Abkhazia" was generally used in the meaning of Georgia. It was used to denote Abasgia proper and entire Western Georgia within the Kingdom of Georgia. The term " Apkhazeti" first appeared in the Georgian annals, which is of Mingrelian origin "Apkha" meaning back or shoulder, gave rise to the name Abkhazia. It possibly first appeared in the seventh century in an Armenian text as Psin(oun), perhaps referring to the ancient Apsilians. The Abkhazians call their homeland Аԥсны ( Apsny, Aṗsny), popularly etymologised as "a land/country of the soul", yet literally meaning "a country of mortals (mortal beings)". ![]() 3.1 Law on occupied territories of Georgia.2.10.1 Political developments since 2014.On 28 August 2008, the Parliament of Georgia declared Abkhazia a Russian-occupied territory, a position reflected by most United Nations member states. In August 2008, Abkhaz and Russian forces fought a war against Georgian forces, which led to the formal recognition of Abkhazia by Russia, the annulment of the 1994 ceasefire agreement and the termination of the UN mission. The long-term presence of a United Nations Observer Mission and a Russian-led Commonwealth of Independent States peacekeeping force failed to prevent the flare-up of violence on several occasions. Simmering ethnic tensions between the Abkhaz-the region's titular ethnicity-and Georgians-the largest single ethnic group at that time-culminated in the 1992–1993 War in Abkhazia, which resulted in Georgia's loss of control over most of Abkhazia and the ethnic cleansing of Georgians from Abkhazia.ĭespite a 1994 ceasefire agreement and years of negotiations, the dispute remains unresolved. The region had autonomy within Soviet Georgia at the time when the Soviet Union began to disintegrate in the late 1980s. While Georgia lacks control over Abkhazia, the Georgian government and most United Nations member states consider Abkhazia legally part of Georgia, with Georgia maintaining an official government-in-exile. The polity is recognised as a state by Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru, and Syria. ![]() The status of Abkhazia is a central issue of the Georgian–Abkhazian conflict and Georgia–Russia relations. It covers 8,665 square kilometres (3,346 sq mi) and has a population of around 245,000. It lies on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, south of the Greater Caucasus mountains in northwestern Georgia. The apsar is on a fixed exchange rate, pegged to the Russian ruble (1 ruble = 0.10 apsar).Ībkhazia ( / æ b ˈ k ɑː z i ə/ ( listen) ab- KAH-zee-ə or / æ b ˈ k eɪ z i ə/ ( listen) ab- KAY-zee-ə ), officially the Republic of Abkhazia, is a partially recognised state in the South Caucasus, recognised by most countries as part of Georgia, which views the region as an autonomous republic. ![]() Several Abkhazian apsar commemorative coins have been issued. |
