The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia was established on May 17th, 1993 at the height of the Georgian-Abkhaz war, when the people of Abkhazia faced a danger of total annihilation. Under isolation, economic embargo and constant threat of another war on the part of Georgia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs carried foreign policy, often through the dedicated work of the Abkhaz diplomats. The Ministry was by turns headed by Tarkyl S., Dzhindzolia С., Lakerbaya., Ozgan K., Akhba I., Shamba S., Gundzhia M., Chirikba V.
