About
Staryi Krym is a historic town in eastern Crimea, west of Feodosiia. It was an important centre of the Golden Horde and preserves Islamic monuments, with the Armenian monastery of Surb Khach nearby.
Notes
UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty for Crimea. Eski Qırım is a living Crimean Tatar name; Solkhat/Solghat is historical. Neither is asserted as a newly enacted Ukrainian civic renaming. This is the Crimean town, not Staryi Krym near Mariupol. Formal romanization variants are search aids and do not establish common usage in either language.
