Abkhazia (Abkhaz Ğ?Ò§Ñ?ны/Aphsny, Georgian áƒ?ფხáƒ?ზეთი/Apkhazeti, Russian Ğ?бхаÌ?зиÑ?/Abkhazia) is a region of 8,600 km² (3,300 sq.mi.) in the Caucasus.
The Caucasus mountains on the north and northeast divide Abkhazia from Circassia; on the southeast it is bounded by Mingrelia (Samegrelo); and on the southwest by the Black Sea.
Abkhazia was made an autonomous principality of the Byzantine Empire in the 7th century, a status it retained until the 9th century, when it was united with the Georgian kingdom of Imereti.
