BUSINESS RELATIONS (BR) AS A NEW FORMAT OF INTERACTION OF BUSINESS AND POWER
Despite the relatively recent transition of our country from a planned administrative to a market economy, it is necessary to pay tribute, the pace of "catch-up" in the use of business tools is quite fast. The interaction of business and government is the best example. By means of a comparative analysis of the forms of interaction between business and government in foreign countries, Russia has managed to implement their numerous forms quite quickly: concession agreements, private-public partnerships, public procurement, etc. Polynomial platforms for business and government dialogue have been created: the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Russia and others.
For interaction of business with the authorities in companies, there is a corresponding post, which has different names: GR-manager, adviser to the general director for interaction with authorities, etc. However, our analysis has shown that it is equally important that the relevant official position is also in the authorities. We called this position a BR-manager or a specialist in interaction with business.
Key words: interaction of business and government, Business Relations (BR, BiAr), BR-manager, GR, political and business communications.

MATERIAL AND NON-MATERIAL GOALS IN STRATEGIC COOPERATION
The article deals with strategic cooperation pursuing material and non-material goals. The material goals are reduced to providing military, economic and geopolitical domination. Intangible goals, in turn, boil down to the spread of ideology and culture. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the nature of cooperation in the implementation of tangible and intangible strategic goals, which can be selfish and unselfish. The diplomatic potential of the Russian language and culture is emphasized, for the reason that they are one of the most important, indispensable and unique means of influencing neighboring and, in general, all post-Soviet states. The development of the Russian language is aimed at the cultural rapprochement of the two states, which creates the basis for economic and political rapprochement. Therefore, it can be argued that the strategic cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Azerbaijan within the framework of "soft power" is of a partnership nature. In this regard, it should be noted that the Republic of Azerbaijan promotes the implementation of the "soft power" not only of the Russian Federation, but also of the United States and Europe, which regard the Republic of Azerbaijan as a reliable ally, a strategically important energy partner.
Key words: strategic cooperation, tangible and intangible goals, the disintegration of the USSR, the Caspian region, the Russian language, English, "Soft power", the "Сontract of the century".

Correction of this situation, according to the author, should lead to a higher standard of living, and, consequently, to achieve better results of rapid economic and social development in the region.

THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYKES-PICOT AGREEMENT: BRITAIN’S LIBERAL POLITICS AND THE KURDS
Our report is dedicated to the anniversary of the Sykes-Picot agreement. We try to find the differences and similarities between it and modern British foreign policy.
The key premise of the British policy in the region is to preserve the borders introduced by the Sykes-Picot agreement, which was just “a colonial ordering device”.
From the early 90s in British foreign policy there is an idea of the international community where each single country is regarded as a citizen of a broad worldwide state. It is nothing but an instrument of control, cf. British foreign policy towards the Arab Spring countries.
The other crucial idea of the modern Britain’s policy is the so called network policy, whose advantages proved to be practically unapplicable.
We come to the conclusion that all the attempts of Britain’s government to establish a new idea for the foreign policy are a disguise for implementation of selfish postcolonialist plans towards the former spheres of influence in the Middle East (Imperialism 2.0). The region needs restructuring, but the people of the region must choose their fate independently, without an outside permission.
Purpose. Our purpose is to define the set of stable features of the British foreign policy in Iraqi Kurdistan during the last 100 years and their relation to the changes in the official foreign policy doctrines of the British Government.
Methodology of the article includes historical, institutional and sociological methods.
Results. We have come to a well-grounded statement that the British foreign politics towards the Kurdistan region was substantially the same during the last 100 years, and the official doctrines of the British Foreign Office of the period had generally declarative character.
Practical implications. The results of our research could be applied to the issues concerning the analysis of actual and long-term political trends in the field of international politics.
Key words: Britain, Middle East, Kurdistan, Sykes-Picot, real politics.

BARRIERS OF SECULARISM IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVES
Secularism refers to the confining of religiosity to the private domain of life. It is originated and developed in the West and was expanded to the other parts of the world, particularly by colonialism. Secularism is closely connected with democracy, where it ensures the rights of all citizens and limits the power of religion in public sphere. In different countries the form of secularism may be varied, therefore we get different types of secularism such as American, French, British and Indian models. Bangladesh is a country of Muslim majority population and got independent from Pakistan in 1971, where religion was used to dominate the people in East Pakistan. As a result logically after independence secularism was taken as one of the main principles of constitution. But by the changing of political regimes in 1988 secularism was removed from the Constitution and Islam was declared as the state religion. In 2011 finally secularism again revived through the fifteenth amendment of the Constitution. Actually there is a contradiction in the constitution as Islam is still written as the state religion at the same time secularism has been taken as the principle. There are some social and political barriers which are playing role to create this contradictory situations. In this paper the author with the help of historical methods analyzes the major barriers to establish secularism in Bangladesh.
Key words: secularism, democracy, colonialism, dictatorship, religious extremism, minority.
