Abkhazia National Anthem Abkhazia (pronounced /æbˈkeɪʒə/ or /æbˈkɑːziə/, Abkhaz: Аҧсны Apsny, Georgian: აფხაზეთი Apkhazeti or Abkhazeti, Russian: Абха́зия Abhazia) is a region in Georgia that is a de facto independent republic with no international recognition. It is located within the internationally recognized borders of Georgia on the eastern coast of the Black Sea and borders the Russian Federation to the north. Under Georgia's official subdivision, it is an autonomous republic (Georgian: აფხაზეთის ავტონომიური რესპუბლიკა, Abkhaz: Аҧснытәи Автономтәи Республика), with Sukhumi as its capital, bordering the region of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti to the east. A secessionist movement of the Abkhaz ethnic minority in the region led to the declaration of independence from Georgia in 1992 and the Georgian-Abkhaz armed conflict from 1992 to 1993 which resulted in the Georgian military defeat and the mass exodus and ethnic cleansing of Georgian population from Abkhazia. In spite of the 1994 ceasefire accord and the ongoing UN-monitored and Russian-dominated CIS peacekeeping operation, the sovereignty dispute has not yet been resolved and the region remains divided between the two rival authorities, with over 83 percent of its territory governed by the Russian-backed Sukhumi-based separatist government and about 17 percent governed by the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, recognized by Georgia as the legal authority of Abkhazia, located in the Kodori Valley, part of Georgian-controlled Upper Abkhazia. This dispute remains a source of serious tension between Georgia and Russia.

Freedom for Abkhazia Abkhazia's Liberation and International Law By E. K. Adzhindzhal http://www.circassianworld.com/Abkhazia_Liberation.html Abkhazia is Abkhazia, by Stanislav Lakoba http://www.circassianworld.com/Abkhazia_is_Abkhazia.html THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA Geography Abkhazia is situated on the Eastern Bank of the Black Sea, bordering to the West with Russia on the Psou River and to the East with Georgia on the Ingur River. On the North the Grand Caucasian Range. It has six main administrative regions: Gagra, Gudauta, Sukhum, Ochamchira, Tquarchal and Gal. The republic contains three National Parks in Pskhu-Gumista, Pitsunda-Mussera and Ritsa. Furthermore the country is rich in fresh water resources with many lakes and rivers. The climate is subtropical. People In the VIII century, the Abkhaz established one of the most influential states of the time - the Abkhaz Kingdom. In the XI century as a result of dynastic marriages, this state fragmented into several minor independent Kingdoms. At this stage until the XIX century, Abkhaz and Georgians coexisted in two separate and independent countries. In 1810 Abkhazia voluntarily became a protectorate of the Russian Empire. Until 1864 it preserved its statehood and system of self-governance in the form of a sovereign principality. As a result of the Russian-Circassian War in the middle of the XIX Century many Abkhaz like Adyghe, Shapsugh, Ubykh, Abaza and other indigenous nations had to flee to the Ottoman Empire. This period of deportation is called "Makhajyr". Approximately more than 250.000 Abkhaz were deported from Abkhazia to Turkey. Being demographically misbalanced Abkhazia had become a favourable territory for migration of other nations like Georgians to Abkhazia. After the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, Georgia and Abkhazia took a way of creating two independent states, but in May 1918 the new Georgian Democratic Republic occupied and annexed Abkhazia. Prior to this occupation the Abkhaz National Council had been formed, actively developing regional state institutions in the Northern Caucasus and Southern Russia (Circassia). As a result of these processes, Abkhazia joined the Union of Mountainous Peoples of the North Caucasus, and then the Mountain Republic and the southeastern Union of Cossack Forces, Caucasian Mountain Peoples and Free Peoples of the Steppe. Hence, following the annexation of Abkhazia by Georgia, the leadership of the Mountain Republic issued a formal protest to the authorities of the Georgian Republic and Germany, whose troops had participated in the operation. Abkhazia led its liberation war against Georgia from 1918 till 1921. On the 4th of March 1921, the Georgian authorities in Abkhazia were overthrown by Abkhaz rebels; 'Kiaraz' movement. An independent Soviet Socialist Republic of Abkhazia was proclaimed on the 31st of March 1921. On the 21st of May 1921, the Revolutionary Committee of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic recognised the independence of Abkhazia. In December 1921 the Abkhaz SSR, under pressure from Stalin was forced into a Union Treaty with the Georgian SSR, which created the basis for state-legal relations between Abkhazia and Georgia. According to this treaty, the SSR of Georgia and the SSR of Abkhazia entered into a military, political and economic alliance. State-legal relations between Georgia and Abkhazia were based on the treaty, which provided equal rights. Following this the Abkhaz SSR took part in the establishment of the USSR.

Abkhazia and South Ossetia: Pandora's box? The consequences of Russias recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia come under the microscope in todays programme. President Medvedev says the military conflict in South Ossetia has killed any hope of peaceful co-existence between Ossetians, Abkhazians and Georgians within one country. But Georgias allies in the West condemned Russias decision. Well consider two opposing points of view on the issue. Our guests are politician and academic Vladimir Medinsky and journalist Konstantin Remchukov.

History of Abkhazia-Abhazya Tarihi (In turkish) Abhazya tarihinin kısa bir özeti.A brief summary of history of Abkhazia in turkish language. http://abkhazia.e-caucasia.com/ A Historical Note on Abkhazia in the Ancient World Yanal Kazan Abu Al Hassan Ali bin Al Hussein bin Ali AL MASSOUDI, originally from a North West African (Morrocan) Family. He was raised in Baghdad and came to Cairo to continue his education. AL MASSOUDI died in 957 DC. During his lifetime he made several long journeys: in 921 DC, covering most parts of the then-known world he wrote ten books based on his personal observations on the history of the nations he visited as well as a geographic description of their land. He made his journeys during the years 921- 924. He finally settled in Cairo in 956 and died the following year. Al MASSOUDI wrote his books based on his personal observations and on 17 books written by earlier historians that lived around that period. Among his most famous writings is a book titled THE GOLDEN PRAIRIES (MUROUGE AL ZAHAB WE MAADIN AL JOUHAR), which was translated into French by the Orientalist De Minar and printed in Paris in 1872 in nine volumes; the English translation appeared in 1841. This bock is one of the most important reference books in the world for orientalists. The following quotation is from page 203 of volume I of the aforementioned book according to the Arabic text. Let us return to the reference to KABAKH mountain (The Caucasus Mountain) and the fortress and the port of ports, where we have related the history of the peoples who are living in that area, among them a nation next to the Alans called the ABKHAZS who are following Christianity and have a king at this time; they live adjacent to the KABAKH MOUNTAINS. Does this mean nothing to those Georgian historians of today who shamelessly claim that there is neither today nor at any time in the past a nation by the name of ABKHAZ and that the ABKHAZ are nothing but a North West Caucasian tribe who came to Abkhazia a mere 200 years ago? Was the Abkhazian Kingdom, already established in 920 DC when AL MASOUDI visited their country, an overnight-phenomenon? Must it not rather have existed long before that visit? Let the readers to judge. History written by certain Georgian intellectuals is fine sample of human distortion. It serves to satisfy Georgian needs in dominating other peoples in the region. When setting such 'histories' against the facts, one comes to understand how the much lamented Andrei Sakharov could have styled Georgia one of the USSR's 'mini-empires' shortly before his untimely death...
