Russian-Abkhazian Border Dispute
Abkhazian parliament’s deputy speaker, Irina Agrba, stated that Abkhazia disagrees with Russian proposals on the border delimitation between the two countries. Abkhazia wants to use as its state border the administrative border that existed in the Soviet times, while Russia reportedly claims an extra 160 square kilometers. Abkhazia is a breakaway Georgian province, recognized by Russia and several other countries as an independent state in the wake of the 2008 Russian-Georgian war. http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/1611256
