Aidgylara

Aidgylara (Abkhaz: Аидгылара, Unity) is a socio-political movement in Abkhazia. Its founding congress took place on 13 December 1988, where the writer Alexey Gogua was elected its first Chairman.[1] During the second congress, on 3 February 1990, Sergei Shamba was elected to succeed Gogua as Chairman.[1]

At the outbreak of the 1992-1993 war with Georgia, Aidgylara's acting Chairman was Rauf Ebzhnou.[2]

Aidgylara was dissolved by its leadership in 1995.[3]

On 15 August 2000, Zurab Achba, who had been Aidgylara's Deputy Chairman between 1990 and 1992, was shot dead in front of his house.[4]

Aidgylara was reconstituted during a fourth congress held on 19 September 2003. In it, Valeri Kvarchia was elected Aidgylara's new Chairman, and Ivan Tarba and Oktai Chkotua Deputy Chairmen.[3][5] On 17 December 2008, a congress was held in Sukhumi to celebrate Aidgylara's 20th anniversary, which was attended by Russia's Ambassador to Abkhazia Semyon Grigoriyev.[6]
