Bzipi (Georgian: ბზიფი, Template:Lang-ab, Bzyph, Template:Lang-ru) is an urban-type settlement located in the Gagra district of Abkhazia, Georgia. Next to the river Bzipi. There is a 10th-century church, now in ruins and a medieval fortress nearby. 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.
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
Notes
- ^ 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.
