People in Abkhazia, a Black Sea region trying to break away from Georgia since a 1990s war, are voting in parliamentary elections.
Georgia's government has vowed to re-assert control over the region.
Abkhazia is a key factor in the long-running political conflict between Georgia and Russia, which has expressed support for the separatists' ambitions.
None of the candidates in this election is proposing that Abkhazia should ever unite with Georgia again.

The separatist Abkhaz authorities hope the vote will demonstrate the region has the potential to become an independent democratic state.
But the Georgian government insists Abkhazia is part of Georgia and these elections are not legitimate.
