Achigvara or Achguara (Georgian: აჩიგვარა; Abkhaz: Аҽгәара) is a village in the Ochamchira District of Abkhazia, Georgia. The 2011 Abkhazian census recorded a population of 1,032 people.

History

On 12 May 2008, the Republic of Abkhazia claimed to have shot down a Georgian Hermes 450 UAV over the village, though Georgia denied the claims.

Population

The 2011 census reported a population of 1,032 in the village. There were 74 Abkhaz, 22 Armenians, 833 Georgians, 25 Mingrelians, 1 Greek, 39 Russians, 13 Ukrainians, and 26 others.

Note

  1. The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
