Notes
- ^ The political status of Abkhazia is a central issue of the Abkhaz–Georgian conflict and Georgia–Russia relations. As of 2023, Abkhazia has been recognised as an independent state by Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru, and Syria; however, the Georgian government and nearly all United Nations member states consider Abkhazia a sovereign territory of Georgia.[1][2][3][4] Lacking effective control over the Abkhazian territory, Georgia maintains an Abkhaz government-in-exile.
