Armiansk (uk|Армянськ pronounced as /uk/; ru|Армянск|Armyansk; hy|Արմյանսկ; crh|Ermeni Bazar) is a city 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:
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.[2]

The main employer in the city and the area is Crimean Titan (Russian: Russian: Крымский Титан; Ukrainian: Ukrainian: Кримський Титан), which specializes in the refining of Titanium dioxide for use in paints, plastics, and other products.
In ancient times, the city was located on the Muravsky Trail, an important road to Crimea. Now this road connects Kherson Oblast to Autonomous Republic of Crimea . The town also has a railroad station.
