Once a popular holiday getaway for the communist elite, tiny Abkhazia is now a de-facto republic at odds with most of the world.

jure” since the August 2008 war.
In this respect, the Bagapsh administration will want to improve
relations with Abkhazians living outside Abkhazia and especially with
Turkey, which has an Abkhaz population five times as big as the
Abkhazian population in Abkhazia, in the new term in order to ... | |
