Bzipi (Georgian: ბზიფი, Abkhaz: Бзыҧ, Bzyph, Russian: Бзыбь or Бзыпта) is an urban-type settlement located in the Gagra district of Abkhazia,[note 1] Georgia. Next to the river Bzipi. There is a 10th-century church, now in ruins and a medieval fortress nearby.[citation needed] The town became less important when the fortress was destroyed and the town passed into the control of the House of Inal-Ipa, which perhaps branched off around 1730 from the Abkhaz royal house the Chachba.[citation needed]

Demographics

At the time of the 2011 Census, Bzipi had a population of 4,719. Of these, 54.7% were Abkhaz, 27.5% Armenians, 10.7% Russians, 3.7% Georgians, 0.9% Ukrainians and 0.3% Greeks[1]

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Abkhazia's status is disputed. It considers itself to be an independent state, but this is recognised by only a few other countries. The Georgian government and most of the world's other states consider Abkhazia de jure a part of Georgia's territory. In Georgia's official subdivision it is an autonomous republic, whose government sits in exile in Tbilisi.
