Armiansk (Ukrainian: Армянськ, Russian: Армянск, Armenian: Արմյանսկ, Crimean Tatar: Ermeni Bazar) is a town of regional significance in the northern Crimean peninsula which is de facto within the Republic of Crimea, a federal subject of the Russian Federation but is de jure within the Autonomous Republic of Crimea within Ukraine. The status of Crimea is disputed by the two countries since February 2014 when the Russian military seized the peninsula,[1] held an illegal referendum, and annexed the peninsula. 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
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]
