Turka (Ukrainian: Турка, IPA: [ˈturkɐ]; Polish: Turka; Yiddish: טורקא), formerly known as Turka nad Stryiom (Ukrainian: Турка над Стрийом; Polish: Turka nad Stryjem) is a city located at the confluence of the Stryi River and the Yablunka River in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located by the Carpathian Mountains. It hosts the administration of Turka urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 6,925 (2022 estimate).[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Turka belonged to Turka Raion and was the administrative center. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven.[3]
