Whole population from that place is gone. This is classical case of ethnic cleansing.”
Upper Kodori gorge was the only part of breakaway Abkhazia under Tbilisi’s control.
Authorities in breakaway Abkhazia said their forces were in full control of upper Kodori Gorge.
Officials in Tbilisi have confirmed it.
