edit- ^The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence fromGeorgiain 1992, Abkhaziais formally recognised as an independent stateby 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it asde jureGeorgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it asRussian-occupied territory.
