Between September 2006 and July 2008 , the Georgian recognized government was headquartered in Upper Abkhazia . However it was forced out of all of Abkhazia in August 2008 during the Russo-Georgian war by the Abkhazian armed forces . Upper Abkhazia is a territory that has population of c. 2,000 ( 1-1.5 % of Abkhazia 's post-war population ) and is centered on the upper Kodori Valley ( roughly 17 % of the territory of the former Abkhaz ASSR ) . The government-in-exile is partly responsible for the affairs of some 250,000 internally displaced persons who were forced to leave Abkhazia following the War in Abkhazia and the resulting ethnic cleansing of Georgians from the area
