Рассматриваются общественно-политические проблемы абхазской диаспоры в Турции, в частности, формирование ее пророссийской позиции в период кавказского кризиса 2008 г. Отмечается несоответствие пророссийской позиции диаспоры с позицией Турции в урегулировании грузино-абхазского и грузино-югоосетинского конфликта. Подчеркивается, что в Анкаре были заинтересованы в развитии турецко-грузинских отношений и, соответственно, поддерживали территориальную целостность Грузии, осуждали стремление мятежных республик — Абхазии и Южной Осетии, к достижению независимости.Материалы и методы. Автор придерживается принципа объективности. Многие вопросы, связанные с репатриационным процессом, рассматриваются в проблемно-хронологическом порядке, использованы историко-сравнительный и историко-системный методы исследования, позволяющие выявить степень изученности проблем, связанных с этнополитическими конфликтами в Грузии в постсоветский период.Результаты исследования. Анализируется комплекс проблем, связанных с возвращением абхазских репатриантов на свою историческую родину. Выявлены сложности, с которыми сталкивались репатрианты в процессе адаптации в Абхазии, среди них — дороговизна жизни, отсутствие жилья, нехватка рабочих мест. Кроме того, у некоторой части абхазских репатриантов отсутствовали языковые навыки, что также создавало трудности в их обустройстве на новом месте проживания. В то же время отмечается, что постепенное приобретение репатриантами жизненных навыков, осваивание новых форм и методов хозяйствования способствовало их адаптации в местную повседневную жизнь.Обсуждение и заключение. Cделан вывод, что полученная в Абхазии жизненная практика в сочетании с той, которая была приобретена в диаспоре в Турции, сыграла важную роль в утверждении новых границ в жизнеустройстве абхазских репатриантов, способствовала их прочному закреплению в системе общественно-политической, социально-экономической и культурной жизни на исторической родине.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Introduction. The article considers socio-political problems of the Abkhaz ethnic group in Turkey, in particular, the formation of its pro-Russian position during the Caucasus crisis of 2008. It notes the inconsistency between the pro-Russian position of the ethnic group and Turkey’s position in the settlement of the Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-South Ossetian conflict. It is emphasized that Ankara was interested in the development of Turkish-Georgian relations and, accordingly, supported the territorial integrity of Georgia and condemned the aspirations of the rebellious republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to achieve independence.Materials and methods. The author adheres to the objectivity principle. Many issues related to the repatriation process are considered in the problem-chronological order, historical-comparative and historical-systemic methods of research, used in this research, allow to reveal the degree of study of problems related to ethno-political conflicts in Georgia in the post-Soviet period.Results. The authors analyze the complex of problems associated with the return of Abkhazian repatriates to their historical homeland. It reveals the difficulties faced by repatriates in the process of adaptation in Abkhazia, including the high cost of living, lack of housing and jobs. In addition, some Abkhazian repatriates lacked language skills, which also created difficulties in settling in their new place of residence. At the same time, it is noted that the repatriates’ gradual acquisition of life skills and mastering of new forms and methods of economic management contributed to their adaptation to local daily life.Discussion and conclusion. It is concluded that the life practice received in Abkhazia, combined with that acquired in the diaspora in Turkey, played an important role in establishing new boundaries in the life of Abkhazian repatriates and contributed to their firm establishment in the system of socio-political, socio-economic and cultural life in their historical home.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>абхазская диаспора</kwd><kwd>Турция</kwd><kwd>репатрианты</kwd><kwd>историческая родина</kwd><kwd>адаптация</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Abkhaz ethnic group</kwd><kwd>Turkey</kwd><kwd>repatriates</kwd><kwd>historical homeland</kwd><kwd>adaptation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Blue Black Sea.
