Chornomorske (Ukrainian: Чорномо́рське; Russian: Черномо́рское; Crimean Tatar: Aqmeçit) is an urban-type settlement and the administrative center of Chornomorske Raion[1] in Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine (the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) and incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea. It is located on the northern edge of the Tarhanqut Peninsula. Population: 11,098 (2013 est.);[4] 11,643 (2001 Census).[1]
History
It was originally known in Russian as Ak-Mechet (Ак-Мечеть), from the Crimean Tatar "Aqmeçit", which literally means a white mosque.[5] A mosque with a tall white minaret used to exist here.[5] After the Crimean Tatars were forcibly deported in 1944, the settlement was given its present name, which alludes to the settlement's coastal location on the Black Sea.[5]
Economy
Chornomorske is Ukraine's offshore drilling center and base port.
