Yevpatoria
Yevpatoria or Eupatoria (Ukrainian: Євпато́рія, Yevpatoriya, Russian: Евпато́рия, Yevpatoriya, Crimean Tatar: Kezlev, Turkish: Gözleve, Armenian: Եվպատորիա - Yevpatoria; Greek: Εὐπατορία, Κερκινίτις - Eupatoria, Kerkinitis, "Little Jerusalem") is a city of regional significance in Crimea, a territory disputed between Ukraine (as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) and Russia (as the Republic of Crimea) since the March 2014 Crimean status referendum. Yevpatoria serves as the administrative center of Yevpatoria municipality, one of the districts (raions) into which Crimea is divided. Population: 105,719 (2014 Census).
History
The first recorded settlement in the area, called Kerkinitis (Κερκινίτις), was built by Greek colonists around 500 BC. Along with the rest of Crimea, Kerkinitis was part of the dominions of Mithridates VI, King of Pontus, from whose cognomen, Eupator, the city's modern name derives.
From roughly the 7th through the 10th centuries AD, Yevpatoriya was a Khazar settlement; its name in Khazar language was probably Güzliev (literally "beautiful house"). It was later subject to the Cumans (Kipchaks), the Mongols and the Crimean Khanate. During this period the city was called Kezlev by Crimean Tatars and Gözleve by Ottomans. The Russian medieval name Kozlov is a Russification of the Crimean Tatar name.

by: Orange GoblinI finally found myself a little paradise
Deep in the darkest depths of hell
Nobody knows I'm down here, but I like it like that
I do what I want and I lose my mind
I always knew I was going southbound
I got a soul I had to sell
I knew I was evil for a reason
I knew I had to go to hell
I took it upon myself to build a temple here
I'm smoking and drinking far too much
You wouldn't believe the following I've got down here
I'm thinking of buying a big flash car
I always knew I was going southbound
I got a soul I had to sell
I knew I was evil for a reason
I knew I had to go to hell
'Cos see I'm all for beating Jesus
You see I wanna take that throne
I never said that it was easy
But I can beat him on my own
It's so reassuring here that I can fool myself
Out of my head on a power trip
Legions of millions eating out of these evil hands
And I'm ready to take this show to Earth
I always knew I was going southbound
I got a soul I had to sell
I knew I was evil for a reason
I knew I had to go to hell
'Cos see I'm all for beating Jesus
You see I wanna take that throne
I never said that it was easy
But I can beat him on my own
I always knew I was going southbound
I got a soul I had to sell
I knew I was evil for a reason
I knew I had to go to hell
'Cos see I'm all for beating Jesus
You see I wanna take that throne
I never said that it was easy
