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 as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
{{Abkhazia note}} is analogous to {{South Ossetia-note}}.
The template is suitable for articles which do not directly deal with the Abkhaz–Georgian conflict, but where indication of Abkhazia's status is nevertheless desirable.
Usage edit
Immediately after (i.e. without including any space) the first instance of "Abkhazia" in an article, add:
<ref group="note">{{Abkhazia note}}</ref>
At the end of the article, preferably in a section with the heading == Notes ==, add:
{{reflist|group="note"}}
