The capital of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, part of Georgia. Population 124,000 (2002). It is a port city on the eastern shore of the Black Sea, and a pipeline has been laid from the Baku oil fields in the Republic of Azerbaijan, through which oil is transferred and exported. Passenger ships operate between the Black Sea cities of Sochi, Odessa, Istanbul, Trabzon, and others. There is also an airport, which connects the city to Moscow, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, and Kiev in Ukraine. Industry is thriving, with factories producing oil refineries, petrochemicals, oil plants, ship repairs, electrical equipment, tea-making machinery, citrus canned fruit, and coffee. The climate is extremely warm and rainy, with average temperatures of 6.4°C in January and 23.2°C in August, and an annual precipitation of 2,500 mm, making it a resort city. There are numerous sanatoriums and resort hotels, as well as an aquarium, a dolphinarium, a theatre, the Ajar Ethnographic Museum, and a tropical and subtropical botanical garden near Cape Zelyonny in the northern outskirts. It was occupied by Turkey in the 17th century, and after the Russo-Turkish War it came under Russian control in 1878. It developed after a pipeline was laid there between 1897 and 1907, and became the capital of the Adjar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (since 1990 the Adjara Autonomous Republic) when it was established in 1921.
