Çoruh River
The Çoruh River ((トルコ語:Çoruh), (グルジア語:ჭოროხი) ''ch'orokhi'', (ギリシア語:Άκαμψις), ''Akampsis'' Armenian "Ճորոխ"- (Tchorokh)) rises in the Mescit Mountains in north-eastern Turkey, flows through the cities of Bayburt, Ispir, Yusufeli, and Artvin, along the Kelkit-Çoruh Fault, before flowing into Georgia, where it reaches the Black Sea just south of Batumi and a few kilometers north of the Turkish-Georgian border.
In Arrian's ''Periplus Ponti Euxini'', it is called the Άκαμψις ''Acampsis''; Pliny may have confused it with the ''Bathys''.〔William Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman geography'', 1:216 (1854).〕 In English, it was formerly known as the Boas, the Churuk, or the Chorokh.〔Encyclopædia Britannica, Eleventh Edition 2:757d〕〔W. Rickmer Rickmers, "Lazistan and Ajaristan", ''The Geographical Journal'' 84:6 (Dec., 1934), p. 466. (at JSTOR )〕
