'''Abkhazia''' is a political entity on the eastern coast of the Black Sea and the south-western flank of the Caucasus whose status is disputed. It considers itself an independent state (the Republic of Abkhazia). This is recognised by [[Russia]], [[Nicaragua]], [[Venezuela]], [[Nauru]], [[South Ossetia]] and [[Transnistria]].
It was a part of [[Georgia]] and most countries, including Georgia and also the UN still consider it as a part of Georgia. Entering Abkhazia is illegal according to Gerorgian laws. That's why travelling from Russia via Abkhazia to Georgia is considered entering Georgia illegally.
