Armiansk (Ukrainian: Армянськ; Russian: Армянск, romanized: Armyansk; Armenian: Արմյանսկ; Crimean Tatar: Ermeni Bazar) is a town of regional significance in the northern Crimean peninsula. The status of Crimea is disputed by the two countries since February 2014.[1] Armiansk is located on the Isthmus of Perekop and serves as the administrative center of the Armiansk Municipality. Population: 21,987 (2014 Census).[2]
History[edit]
At the beginning of the 18th century Armenians and Greeks who had come from the nearby city of Or Qapı (present-day Perekop) founded Armiansk. The first name of the town was Ermeni Bazar (Crimean Tatar for the "Armenian market"). In 1921 it was renamed Armiansk.
On 2 March 2014, early in the 2014 Crimean Crisis, Russian Naval Infantry units without cockades or rank insignia set up a checkpoint in Armiansk to check cars driving in and out of the Crimea region.[3]
