A new law will offer citizenship to anyone of Abkhaz origin, even if they were not born in the republic.
By Inal Khashig in Sukhum
The breakaway republic of Abkhazia is offering citizenship to members of the diaspora, in a move intended to encourage them to boost the numbers of an ethnic group that currently accounts for less than half the population.
Since Abkhazia unilaterally declared itself independent from Georgia 12 years ago, its leaders have had to contend with the fact that Abkhaz do not make up the absolute majority. In a move intended to swell the numbers, the republic’s parliament approved a new law at the end of October that gives anyone who can claim Abkhaz origin the right to claim citizenship.
