WHY are there no tides in the Black Sea?

In the Black Sea, tides occur independently of the World Ocean, as tidal waves do not pass through the narrow straits of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. Tidal forces are related to the different force of lunar gravity acting on parts of any water area not equally distant from the Moon.

The Black Sea water area is much smaller in cross-section than the entire Earth with the World Ocean. Hence, the tidal forces are just as small here.

The water in the sea is actually just rocking, as in a basin: the amplitude of the tide on the east coast, in Batumi, reaches 13 cm, on the west, in Burgas, - 10-11 cm, and on the southern coast of Crimea sea level rise is no more than 1 cm.
