/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There is no united Black Sea region, as a matter of
fact, Director of the Caucasus Media Institute Alexander Iskandaryan
said at Wider Black Sea: Perspectives for International and Regional
Security conference in Yerevan.

"The Black Sea region doesn’t exist. It’s not united either
geographically or culturally or historically.

The entire history of the region was the history of separation
but not of consolidation," he said. "It was the region of
confrontation. "Presently, politicians attempt to form a unified region
despite numerous economic projects basing on political interests."

"We can speak of commonness of languages and cultures but the future
promises more and more discrepancies," he resumed, Novosti Armenia
reports.
