Sarych
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarych (Ukrainian: Са́рич; Russian: Са́рыч; Crimean Tatar: Sarıç) is a headland (Russian: Мыс; translit: mys) located on shore of the Black Sea on the Crimean Peninsula in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine.
About 5 kilometers from the Sarych headland is the resort town of Foros. The city of Sevastopol is located about 30 km away and Yalta — about 40 km. The length from Sarych to the Kerempe headland of Black Sea shore in Turkey is 142 miles, making it the narrowest point of the Black Sea, and the southernmost point of Ukraine.
A lighthouse is located on the headland, which from 2005, was the subject of a controversy between Ukraine and Russia. From August 3, 2005, the lighthouse is occupied by the Russian Army.[1]
Not paying attention to the ruling of the Government Court in Sevastopol on the subject of the return of 77 geographical objects to Ukraine (including the lighthouse on Sarych), the Russian Army illegally occupies the lighthouse to this day.[2] The territory around the Sarych headland is closed to Ukrainians and is covered with a barbed wire with the Russian flag flying above Sarych.[3]
