Machara (Georgian: მაჭარა; Abkhaz: Мачара) is a village in the Gulripshi District of Abkhazia.

Demographics

At the time of the 2011 census, Machara had a population of 2,640. Of these, 66.8% were Armenian, 23.7% Abkhaz, 6.5% Russian, 1.0% Georgian, 0.8% Greek and 0.3% Ukrainian. The Abkhaz population has been increasing in recent years due to the settlement of repatriate families (usually from Turkey).

Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
