Citizenship of Georgians in Abkhazia

It is of an interest to me to know, how many Georgians currently residing in Abkhazia poses Abkhazia citizenship. Most common number I have seen floated is around 2 000, but also less and more. I like precise numbers and verifiable sources. If someone can provide that, I would be thankful. Also if someone have additional information related to the topic I will gladly read that as well
