Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Hi! I would like to learn about Abkhazia, I am most interested in the demographics.
Abkhazia is a country on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. I see that Abkhazia has experienced a modest economic upswing since the 2008 South Ossetia war and Russia's subsequent recognition of their independence.
What can you tell me about the demographics?
The demographics of Abkhazia were strongly affected by the 92-93 War with Georgia. They saw the expulsion and flight of over half of the republic's population. As of the 1989 census there were 525,061 people living there.
Very interesting, I did not know they went to war with Georgia. Anything else you can tell me about the demographics?
Yes I see that at the time of the 1989 census, the Georgian population numbered around 239,872 which made up around 45.7% of the population The Armenian population was about 77,000.
Very interesting! Could you please give you details pertaining to Abkhazia's economy?
Yes of course. I see that in 2014 1.16 million Russian tourists visited Abkhazia.
How much did that affect the economy? How do they make most of their revenue?
The increase helped the country. I see that despite the controversial status of the territory and its damaged infrastructure. The tourism grew following the Russians recognition of the Abkhazian independence in 2008. The tourists helped pass the word along about Abkhazian.
Thank you for all of this great information. Have a great day!
You are very welcome. Have a great day!
