Borders of Georgia (Country)

Georgia's Geographic Boundaries

Georgia (Sakartvelo) is a transcontinental country in the Caucasus, bordered by:

• North & Northeast: Russia (Republics of Chechnya, Ingushetia, North Ossetia–Alania, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Krasnodar Krai).
• East & Southeast: Azerbaijan.
• South: Armenia and Turkey.
• West: Black Sea (310 km coastline).

Disputed Territories: South Ossetia (north-central) and Abkhazia (northwest) are de facto independent but internationally recognized as part of Georgia. Their borders with Russia are controlled by Russian forces.

Georgia's location at the Europe-Asia crossroads gives it strategic importance for energy corridors (pipelines, railways).
