Operation Golden Fleece
Greek non-combatant evacuation operation in Abkhazia
Operation Golden Fleece is a codename given to the non-combatant evacuation operation of ethnic Greeks from the port of Sukhumi, Abkhazia. The War in Abkhazia, which began on 14 August 1992, created an atmosphere of lawlessness in the region, resulting in dozens of deaths of Greek civilians. The Greek state decided to intervene in order to evacuate members of the Greek minority in Abkhazia.
