Krasnoperekopsk Raion (Ukrainian: Красноперекопський район, Russian: Красноперекопский район, Crimean Tatar: Krasnoperekopsk rayonı) is one of the 25 districts of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea. It is situated in the northern part of the republic. The administrative center of the raion is the town of Krasnoperekopsk. The latter is not a part of the raion (district) and incorporated separately as a town of regional significance. Population (without Krasnoperekopsk): 24,738 (2014 Census).[1]
On 12 May 2016, Ukrainian authorities[nb 1] renamed the district to Perekopsky Raion (Ukrainian: Перекопський район) as part of its decommunization efforts. The renaming will be in effect when Ukraine take back control of Crimea.[5]
Notes
- ^ Since the 2014 Crimean crisis, the status of the Crimea and of the city of Sevastopol is under dispute between Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine and the majority of the international community considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Ukraine, while Russia, on the other hand, considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Russia, with Sevastopol functioning as a federal city within the Crimean Federal District.[2][3][4]
