AZOV

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 85 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AZOV , or Asov (in Turkish, Asak), a town of
Russia
 , in the government of the Don Cossacks, on the left bank of the southern arm of the Don, about 20 M. from its mouth. The ancient Tanais lay some lo m. to the north. In the 13th
century
  the Genoese had a factory here which they called
Tana
 . Azov was
long
  a place of
great
  military and commercial importance.
Peter
  the
Great
  obtained possession of it after a protracted siege in 1696, but in 1711 restored it to the Turks; in 1739 it was finally united to the
Russian
 
empire
 . Since then it has greatly declined, owing to the silting up of its harbour and the competition of Taganrog. Its
population
 , principally engaged in the fisheries, numbered 25,124 in 1900.
