The majority of Abkhazians within Abkhazia are Orthodox Christians, comprising approximately 75% of the population. Although officially a canonical territory of the Georgian Orthodox Church, the affairs of Orthodox Christians are run by the Eparchy of Abkhazia under Russian Orthodox influence. Another 10% of Abkhazians are Sunni Muslims, and there are small numbers of Jews, Lutherans, Catholics and followers of new religions.
Abkhazia is such a beautiful country. Abkhazians, I have a great sympathy for your cause and struggle to be recognized by the other countries from the international community. It is a long process, but you will be succeeding in the future. Think about Belize.
Yitabup ( thank u in Abkhazian ) , i quess u r American my friend, actualy many ppl of usa supporting georgia for their government supporting it. real ppl loves this, just u can search about us and u gonna see that we can be friend :)

great clip, i think it is great that abkhazia can rejoin the tourist locatons of the world, well soon hopefully. did you get thsi video off of a tv show, or did you make it. either way it is realy profesional, thanks.
Be realistic Abkhazians! You will never be free as independent nation, but you can live and prosper with 3m Georgians and not with 150m russians. They will russify you as manymany nations! Please be clever and turn to Georgia and Georgian brothers. We aren't your enemies. we want peace with you! Don't make mistake and don't belive russians who made "Muhajiroba" to Abkhazian people!
"there are only 80,000 Abkhazians, which means that we can easily and completely destroy the genetic stock of their nation by killing 15,000 of their youth. And we are perfectly capable of doing this."
Giorgi Khaindrava, on the pages of Le Monde Diplomatique in April 1993.
Abkhazia is NOT Georgia! Abkhazia is Abkhazia. If you want peace, accept this FACT!
By the way historicly it's Georgian land and Absua's came here from north caucasus. but now it's not time for this dispute. We and almost all common people wont peace with Abkhazians. without each other we will never have normal country :(
the literary-historian Pavle Ingoroqva was commissioned to argue in print that the Abkhazians only arrived in Abkhazia in the 17th century, conquering the 'original' Abkhazians of history, who were thus a 'Georgian' tribe. This calumny was revived in the heady days of Georgian nationalism from 1988 AND IS WIDELY BELIEVED BY MANY ORDINARY KARTVELIANS, who for this reason still regard the Abkhazians as unentitled to be living in Abkhazia.
You are welcome as a person from NEIGHBOUR country. Abkhazia is NOT Georgia. Abkhazia is Abkhazia. If you accept this FACT, you are welcome... We are waiting for you. Otherwise ....
For some 60 years Abkhazia was forced to accept the unwelcome status of being a mere autonomous republic with Soviet Georgia (thanks to the ruling of the Georgian dictator Stalin-'Iosef Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili'). For daring to defend our interests in the face of Georgian nationalist aggression, we were subjected to 14 months of savagery.
In alliance with our allies from the Abkhazian diaspora or our cousins in the North Caucasus, we succeeded in ejecting the invader and winning the war.
All that Georgia under its various leaders/governments has been willing to offer us by way of a settlement is a return the 'status quo ante'. How many examples are there in history where a people after being invaded, losing 4% of their population, and yet finally winning the war have meekly resigned themselves to accepting the selfsame subordinate status they had before the tragedy of a war inflicted upon them?
This is something that the Georgian side and their international backers (who have no interest in the fate of minorities but think solely of the 'big picture' of preserving territorial integrity, of finding allies in an unstable part of the world, and of securing the flow of oil) would do well to remember.
Abkhazia is NOT Georgia, Abkhazia is Abkhazia. They should be told by their EU, NATO and US 'friends' to accept this fact, find a 'modus vivendi' with their neighbours (big and small alike), and then contribute to the creation of stability and prosperity for the Caucasus region as whole. We can all then get on with our lives in the peace that we all deserve.
I'm from Ireland and I support Abkhaz independence. Our leaders in the EU should recognise this fundamental right to statehood, and not be eager to have an idiot like Sakhasvilli under their wing. That man is a fool, he appears on tv with an EU flag next to a Georgian one, giving an official address, even though eorgia isn't part of the EU! Plus, he treats Bush with respect!Urghhh!
is anybody could tell me what's religion in Abxazia?please...is this nationality muslims?

Make sure to check out the church where Abkhazian murderers executed a monk just because he said that "all lands belong to God and not to Ardzimba"
Visiting houses of georgians appropriated by abkhaz would give you the very feeling of how jusrt this world might be..
And of course do not forget to see the places where ethnic Georgians were tortured and thrown in well, it will give you extra pleasure i guess!
lastly how can anything be compared to weekend spend on unrecognized Russian province!
