This from the Caernarfon Times:
Well, it looks like things haven't cooled down after all, we may well be about to enter the first large war of the 21st century. It seems to me that if Persia remains alone, it should be defeated with some speed, but if it manages to drag Delhi in, and maybe even those nut-cases in Königsberg, we could be facing a serious problem.
At 9:00 (CMT) this afternoon, Arch-Prince Yaroslav VII spoke out against the actions of Persian forces in Azeria. Calling the Persian invasion a “crime against God and Humanity,” as well as a “blatant threat to the Security of the Rus, and its allies” the Knyaz went so far as to threaten military intervention if Persian troops do not withdraw from North Azeria within 24 hours.
The reoccupation and subsequent annexation of the Republic of North Azeria last Sunday was met with less media attention than perhaps was appropriate, even given the tragedy in Nippon and the death of High King Cadwgan Mawr ap Gwythyr during the same week. This latest hostile action on top of the earlier annexations in central Asia, has finally led Kiev to declare the Persian situation a “crisis.” Jewish Khazars make up a sizeable minority in Azeria, and fears have been raised that the militantly Muslim Persia may act violently against them.
An emergency meeting of the Tripoli Treaty nations, hosted by Emperor Leo of Rhomania at Caesarea this past week, has already denounced the occupation, but Yaroslav’s speech marks the first threat of force. The Autonomous Principality of Armenia, the state which faces the most direct threat from Persian Expansionism, is expected to release it’s own statement within the next few hours.
