Chuburkhindji (Chuburkhinji; Georgian: ჭუბურხინჯი, Abkhaz: Хьацҳа or Ҷубурхьынџь) (known as Tzalamukhi [წალამუხი] until 1957) is a village in the Gali District of Abkhazia, Georgia. As is the case in the rest of the district its population is almost exclusively Georgian.
History
[edit]The village is the place of regular quadripartite (Georgian-Abkhaz-CIS peacekeepers-UNOMIG) meetings known informally as the "Chuburkhinji sessions". The meetings have been suspended by the Abkhaz side since November 2006.[2]
On 24 May 2012, a settlement was opened in Chuburkhinji for the families of Russian border guards.[3]

[edit]- ^ 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 de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
