Summary

2006 Kodori crisis: both Georgia and Abkhazia threaten war over the dispute

2006 Kodori crisis

2006 military conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia

The 2006 Kodori crisis erupted in late July 2006 in Abkhazia's Kodori Gorge, when a local militia leader declared his opposition to the Government of Georgia, which sent police forces to disarm the rebels. The upper part of the Kodori Gorge was at that time the only portion of Abkhazia, Georgia's breakaway republic, not controlled by the Abkhaz authorities.
