Poti
Poti ((グルジア語:ფოთი); Mingrelian: ფუთი; Laz: ჶაში/Faşi; formerly known to the Turks as ''Faş'') is a port city in Georgia, located on the eastern Black Sea coast in the region of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti in the west of the country. Built near the site of the ancient Greek colony of Phasis and deriving its name from the same, the city has become a major port city and industrial center since the early 20th century. It is also home to a main naval base and the headquarters of the Georgian navy. Adjacent to the Poti port area is the RAKIA owned Free Industrial Zone. Inaugurated in April 2008, it has registered a number of businesses, including those from Iranian businesspeople trying to evade sanctions against Iran.
== Etymology ==
The name Poti is apparently linked to Phasis, but the etymology is a matter of a scholarly dispute. "Phasis" ((ギリシア語:Φάσις)) is first recorded in Hesiod's ''Theogony'' (c. 700 BC) as a name of the river, not a town. Since Erich Diehl, 1938, first suggested a non-Hellenic origin of the name and asserted that Phasis might have been a derivative of a local hydronym, several explanations have been proposed, linking the name to the Georgian-Zan ''
*Poti'', Svan ''
*Pasid'', and even to a Semitic word, meaning "a gold river".〔Lordkipanidze (2000), pp. 11–12.〕
