  • The Bagramyan Battalion () was a battalion formed in Abkhazia, Georgia and predominantly composed of ethnic Armenians living in Abkhazia that fought together with Separatist Abkhaz forces during the War in Abkhazia (1992–1993). Named in honour of the Soviet Armenian Marshal Hovhannes Bagramyan, the battalion's declared purpose was to withdraw Georgian forces from Georgian territory and support Russo-Abkhazian forces. On 10 May 1998, during hostilities leading to Six-Day War in Abkhazia (20–26 May 1998), there was a fire initiated on one of administrative buildings of the power grid in Mziuri. No one was injured in the attack. The Tbilisi-based Prime-News agency reported it was done by the members of the battalion. According to the official Georgian reports, the battalion was dispatched by the de facto Abkhaz authorities to the predominantly Georgian-populated Gali district specifically for punitive operations.
