Tragedy in Abkhazia is not only our tragedy, this is one of the tragedies that occurred around the world as a chain of evil events.

History of Abkhazia

This section will cover the general history of Abkhazia, an autonomous republic of Georgia. Numerous attempts have been made previously to write history of Abkhazia online, yet all of them lack serious use of scholarly sources of the international literature, especially if compared to the torrent of myths about this region, many of which enjoy the active support of politicised individuals from Russia and elsewhere. Political punditry and normative statements still prevail over detached scholarly analysis in the study of Abkhazian history. The editors of Abkhazeti will attempt to counter this trend and go beyond the tradition of falsification and politicizing of Abkhazian History.
The text which is used in this section is based on numerous primary and secondary sources taken from the well know western scholars of Caucasian studies such as William Edward David Allen, David Marshal Lang, Sir John Oliver and Marjory Scott Wardrop, Cyril Toumanoff, Ronald Grigor Sunny, Svante E. Cornell, etc. The text also uses medieval Georgian and Armenian annals by various authors.
