Abkhazia

[Jehan]

Abkhazia (Abkhaz: Аҧсны́ Apsny [apʰsˈnɨ]; Georgian: აფხაზეთი Apkhazeti [ɑpʰxɑzɛtʰi]; Russian: Абха́зия, tr. Abkhа́ziya; IPA: [ɐpˈxazʲɪjə]) is a partially recognised state on south of Russia and northwest of Georgia proper.
It covers 8,660 square kilometres (3,340 sq mi) and has a population of around 240,000. Its capital is Sukhumi. The separatist Abkhazian polity, formally the Republic of Abkhazia or Apsny, is recognised only by Russia and a small number of other countries. While Georgia lacks control over Abkhazia, the Georgian government, the United Nations and the majority of the world's governments consider Abkhazia part of Georgia, whose constitution designates the area the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia.

Before the conflict Georgians were 60% of Abkhazia's population, Russia made ethnic cleansing and then there was referendum about independence.
Do you think that referendum is rightful if 60% of population can not participate in it?

I think it should ideally be an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation.

They made a referendum after resettling Georgians? Comfy.

Honestly speaking, I would probably have mixed feelings about this issue if Russia wouldn't be involved. On the other hand, how many people lives in Abkhazia? And what's more important, how many Abkhazians lives there? 100 000?

Yes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic...ns_in_Abkhazia
"Roughly 200,000 to 250,000 Georgian civilians became Internally displaced persons (IDPs).[21] The ethnic cleansing and massacres of Georgians has been officially recognized by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) conventions in 1994, 1996 and again in 1997 during the Budapest, Lisbon and Istanbul summits and condemned the "perpetrators of war crimes committed during the conflict."[22] On May 15, 2008, the United Nations General Assembly adopted (by 14 votes to 11, with 105 abstentions) a resolution A/RES/62/249 in which it "Emphasizes the importance of preserving the property rights of refugees and internally displaced persons from Abkhazia, Georgia, including victims of reported "ethnic cleansing", and calls upon all Member States to deter persons under their jurisdiction from obtaining property within the territory of Abkhazia, Georgia in violation of the rights of returnees "


The reason why Georgians where expelled from Abkhazia is that, Russia wanted to punish Georgians, cause we choose Euro integration.
Thats it.

If it wasn't for Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan would still have belonged to the Persians... it would have been part of Iran.
