| | Chronology of Abkhazia through August 1999 |
| | Abkhazia adopts a new constitution as a ‘sovereign democratic state’ subject to international law, leaving ambiguity as to whether this constitutes a declaration of independence. | | | The Abkhaz Supreme Soviet declares the sovereignty of Abkhazia and a willingness to negotiate with the Georgian government on federative relations. | | | Ardzinba is inaugurated president by the Abkhaz parliament and the Abkhaz propose a union state with Georgia on the basis of equal partnership. |

| | On 23 July 1992, the Supreme Council of Abkhazia adopted the Constitution of 1925, according to which (in article II) Abkhazia was a sovereign state and a subject of international law. | | | The President of the Republic of Abkhazia shall be the head of the State. | | | The Abkhaz argue that, as Abkhazia was forcibly incorporated into Georgia by Stalin& regime in 1931, the collapse of the USSR and the subsequent unilateral annulment by Georgia of legal measures joining the two countries in one republic merely confirmed Abkhazia’s legal and moral right to independence. |

| | Georgians and Abkhazians. The Search for a Peace Settlement Chp 2 Part 1 |
| | Abkhazia is Georgia, because it has always been part of Georgia when it was united. | | | Georgians can also argue that if Stalin was responsible for subordinating Abkhazia to Georgia in 1931, then he was also responsible for the separation of Abkhazia from Georgia in 1921. | | | This meant that unlike the Georgians who (in practical terms, mistakenly) appealed to "international law" to uphold their right to restore full independence, annulled by the Russian/Soviet invasion, the only practical option for the Abkhaz was to appeal to Moscow and the Soviet past before 1931. |
