			Looking back on the history of people dealing by nature with the wealth of resources of The Caspian Sea basin, one may say: "They've been not only men born under a lucky oil-gas-gold star, but they have self-esteem towards it as well." Human settlemnt and community development in region of The Caspian Sea dates to the Stone Age, which had been thousands years ago. Then those lands i.a. were parts of Alexander The Great Empire and partly The Rome as well as Byzantium Empire, parts of Arab Caliphat and of Soviet Union not so long ago. But in some way, these multicultural influences on the Caspian people's fates have been on their side. Today they are receptive to the world in a cautious way. Tradition and freedom of religion are important factors influencing contemporary attitudes to life, that characterise today's inhabitants of The Caspian Sea region. Some form of expression of those two issues is "Caspian hospitality", which is globally essential element of local business life as well. Azerbaijanis, Kazakhstanis as well as Turkmens do usually need a while to get acquainted with strange businessmen. But when they have already done that, they may even be capable of sharing own meal with their reliable business partners. This is not unusual way in the world, that dealings are being done by means of close personal contacts. And these business standards are much the same in The Caspian Sea region. Three general rules of everyday business culture practised with very passion in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan - countries of The Caspian Sea region: )'(  despite of common use, Russian may not be the only Your relations language (it could be English language as well); )'(  many of Caspian businessmen confess Islam, thus do not useYour left hand in business contacts with them (using it may be made out as an affront to them); )'(  business negotiations're often long-lasting process, that includes tasting of local dishes and drinks (be aware of their rather non-vegetarian / not soft features);		Caspian Resources Consulting Ltd.
