The areas of Abkhazia and South Ossetia declared themselves as independent states; they are not under control of the central government. About 250,000 Georgians are migrated from Abkhazia into the remaining area of Georgia because of the civil war 1992/93. Because of the 2008 South Ossetia war about 15,000 Georgians fled to the mainland.
