Is Abkhazia considered a real country?

groovey67

The United States, European Union and international organizations (UN, OSCE, Council of the European Union, etc.) recognize Abkhazia as an integral part of Georgia and are urging both sides to settle the conflict over Abkhazian autonomy through peaceful means.[1] However, the Abkhaz separatist government and the majority of the current Abkhazian population (excluding ethnic Georgians who still populate the Gali District and the Kodori Gorge) consider Abkhazia a sovereign country. In fact, Abkhazia historically is a part of Georgia [2] Meanwhile the Russian State Duma is looking for legal ways to incorporate this region into Russia[citation needed], while Russian media produce numerous materials in support of separatist rule. During the war, Russian authorities supplied significant military and financial aid to the separatist side. Since the beginning of the war, Russia has politically and militarily contributed in the creation of the separatist movement in Abkhazia.[3] Today, Russia still maintains a strong political and military influence over the separatist rule in Abkhazia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abkhazia Oct 11 06, 12:14 PM

Abkhazia and South Ossetia territories remain outside the control of the central government and are ruled by de facto, unrecognized governments, supported by Russia. Russian-led peacekeeping operations continue in both regions. https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/gg.html Oct 11 06, 12:15 PM
