Abkhazians of African descent

Abkhazians of African descent are a small group in Abkhazia of Black African descent who used to live mainly in the Abkhazian settlement Adzyubzha at the mouth of the Kodori River and the surrounding villages of Abkhazia (Chlou, Pokvesh, Agdarra, Merkulov, etc.) on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. Like the Afro Turks, they trace their origin back to the African branch of the Ottoman slave trade.
