Press Office of Royal Seleucid
« on: April 01, 2019, 09:09:22 PM »

Following the two different statements from the Emperor of Paracambi His Majesty King Heydar I of Royal Seleucid is pleased that the Paracambian government see fit to try and improve relationships between the two nations however His Majesty can not in good conscience apologise for the actions of another. Should based on the theory of Emperor Benson this mean His Majesty King Heydar I of Royal Seleucid be forced to apologise for the Cultist genocide which took place under the rouge military generals of his nation, despite the King being one of a number of military officers who refused orders to take part in it? Or perhaps His Majesty King Heydar I of Royal Seleucid should be forced to apologise to the people of the Ecclesiastical State for his illustorous father calling the Pope a weasel? Clearly these apologise can not be made as neither are needed nor was His Majesty King Heydar I of Royal Seleucid involved in the insult. As such there shall not be an apology for an event that took place at a time when no one living was alive. We would welcome a meeting between the two monarchs but not with pre-conditions and emotional blackmail.

With immediate effect it has been determined that Ipsus International airport will see a 20% decrease in the number of available landing spots. To remedy this the airport in Anjir will be utilised to make up the short fall. We apologise for the disruption that this will cause to travellers however we feel it is an operational necessity. While Anjir may sit in the Celtic Protectorate there is no need for any additional travel arrangements regarding entry to the nation. Additionally the government of Royal Seleucid will be putting on a free train service between the two cities for anyone in possession of a plane ticket.

With immediate effect the members of the Royal Logistics Regiment are on standby to transport materials and goods from air bases in the East of Royal Seleucid, North through Tamora and onward to refugee centres where aid is needed. This process can start within 5 hours notice once the Celtic Protectorate is declared safe enough to receive supplies by Miss Lusk of the IRSA. We therefore once again make ourselves available for such an inspection at her earliest convenience and are keen for this to happen quickly to allow the refugees in need to get supplies desperately needed.

Following the recent humanitarian visit of Melissa Lusk to Meybad in Royal Seleucid King Heydar is formally requesting the departure of Ui Cenneslaig troops from the Celtic Protectorate.

King Heydar realises that a total and sudden departure of the Cenneg troops is both irresponsible and impractical and so has laid out the following provisional timetable for withdrawal

End of Jan 2020 - Cenneg numbers to be reduced to 4,000 soldiers. Naval assets to be limited to no more than a Destroyer, a Frigate and a submarine. Seleucid Police to begin joint patrols with Cenneg military.

February 14th 2020 - Seleucid Air Force to assume total responsibility for controlling air space.

End of Feb 2020 - Cenneg numbers to be reduced to 3,000 soldiers. Naval assets totally removed and Seleucid Navy to re-assume responsibility for maritime patrols. Removal of all Cenneg Air assets

15th March 2020 - A maximum number of 1,200 Seleucid soldiers permitted into the Celtic Protectorate

End of March 2020- Cenneg numbers to be reduced to 1,000 soldiers. Cenneg representative to Royal Council stands down.

15th April 2020 - Cenneg to officially hand over responsibility for enforcing laws to Seleucid government within the Protectorate.

End of April 2020 - Cenneg numbers to reduced to 500 soldiers. Cenneg embassy to move officially from Meybad to Ipsus

15th of May 2020 - Final Cenneg soldiers leave.

In order to ensure the confidence of the citizens living in the Celtic Protectorate King Heydar has today issued a Royal Commission to Brigadier Safaa Boulos to form the Jekar Militia. This shall be a volunteer force of no more than 1,200 soldiers and a further 800 specialist police officers. All members of this force shall be Cultists who have passed a sword ceremony. They shall be the first unit to re-enter the Protectorate on the 15th of March 2020 and it is anticipated many of them shall have been born within the Protectorate territory.

The nation of Royal Seleucid does not seek to erase its history. The attempted genocide of Cultists by rouge military officers shall forever be a stain on the nations otherwise good character. We must however seek to heal our nation rather than keep it seperate. King Heydar is only too aware that his father gave a sacred word that the Protectorate would be in place until 2026 however he is confident that all requirements placed upon the people of Royal Seleucid have been more than fulfilled and would urge King Finley of Ui Cenneslaig to accept the timetable as presented or meet face to face with King Heydar in Ipsus to discuss revisions to the timetable. To maintain the Protectorate until its oath bound final date is in the opinion of His Majesty a travesty of justice and an insult to the hard work the Seleucid people of all background have put in to healing the nation.

In recent days we have once again seen a nation of Midaranye criticised by those who know little of our region and worse yet have not made any effort to understand the background of the situations on which they comment. It is rather surprising because Achkaerin were founder members of the Cultural Exchange Treaty Organisation, a body which states its aim is to allow all citizens of the region to experience and appreciate the culture and traditions of their neighbours. Waddan is a nation of which many of us know very little on a day to day basis. What we do know is that we are dealing with a nation that has no single political leader, in which Chieftans have no fixed territory and a nation whose capital city is the size of a small town in many nations. The Waddanite people live largely nomadic lives. They are a people who value water so highly it is used in their religious rituals as a sacrifice, and as people of sacrificial religions know an offering must be something of extreme value. They are a people who spend much of their time in the desert, therefore water is not freely avaliable. As a nation with our own desert people I can well understand their attitude towards water. I therefore am forced to think what right do Achkaerin, a nation which is blessed with an island and an abundance of water, have to tell desert dwellers their way of life is in violation of what is right. Achkaerin are a nation with a rich maritime history, should a group of sailors find themselves stuck at sea with limited water and a man so injured he is dying would they give him water if it dooms the rest to die? This is a moral dilemma the desert people address everyday and I am sure they will have long standing codes as to how to reach the best decision. We must do more to understand and protect the way of life of Waddan, a rare and historic existence which the world should treasure and not attack for we have lost our connections in many ways to our ancient pasts.

King Heydar of Royal Seleucid

CALL FOR THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YANI TAWFEEK

With the government of Rokkenjima renaging on their initial announcement of the release of Yani Tawfeek we believe their are no grounds and no authority to hold him any longer. There is certainly no avenue to hand this man over to the courts established as part of the Uppsala Convention. The Uppsala Convention Courts, officially referred to as The Convention courts are defined as follows. "The Convention Court – A legally binding international court that will sit in judgement of those accused of breaking this treaty" furthermore the Uppsala Convention says that any trial that takes place must do so utilising Article 7 of the Mundus Convention of Universal Rights which states in sub-clause 3 which states "3. No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence under national or international law at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the criminal offence was committed." The crimes which Mr.Tawfeek is accused of took place sometime before 2001, however the Uppsala Convention was formed long after this, therefore meaning that its own Charter states it can not find anyone guilty of crimes that did not constitute a criminal offence at the time it was committed. As the international community viewed the land where the wrongfully alleged crime took place was classed as Seleucid territory AND the fact that no international law covering this offence existed at the time there is no lawful authority other than a Seleucid one under which Mr.Tawfeek can be tried. As such we demand his immediate release as otherwise by sending him for trial elsewhere Rokkenjima are in fact breaking the Mundus Conventional of Universal Rights.

We look forward to welcoming Mr.Tawfeek home as soon as possible.

KING HEYDAR ANNOUNCES THE "EVERY CHILD SCHOLARSHIP" GIFT

His Majesty King Heydar has today announced the following profits of around $70 billion from the Seleucid National Oil Company a special one off payment will be made to all children in the nation. Every child who has yet to celebrate their 14th birthday is to be given $2,500. That accounts for around 12,500,000 children meaning a total of around $31billion will be paid out. The King announced the decision saying, "Every year we have been blessed by the Goddess to see our oil revenues return a solid profit. The Soter family own a large number of the shares in the Seleucid National Oil Company with the Seleucid Treasury owning the rest. I am fortunate enough to reside in a fancy Palace, with everything I need and the Soters have seen the funds in our private accounts grow. We have no need of the funds and therefore today I am authorising payments to be made from the Soter family share of the years profits to go to this one off payment. It is our intention that the money be used to help support the education of young people and support them to have a better start in life. This will not become an annual payment but with my own child making his start in the world I wish to do something to help all Seleucid children. In years to come the people of Royal Seleucid can be assured that rather than my family simply amassing wealth from our nations resources we shall be putting it to use improving our nation."

The King confirmed that while he hopes this money is to be used for education he will "Trust parents to make the right decision for their children". Cheques for those eligible should reach people by the start of next month. Any funds not claimed by the start of 2021 will be forfeited and the King has confirmed that the money not claimed will be made available in grants to centres looking after the elderly.

In 2019 the nation of Royal Seleucid introduced a law that introduced a system known as "Legal Servitude". Under this system anyone found committing a non-violent crime that has seen another citizen suffer a financial loss can be sentenced to a fine followed by a  period of servitude until that loss and fine has been made good. The individual may end their sentence early by paying off the remainder of their penalty or by being released from it by the victim. While this system has been utilised by judges it is just one of several sentencing options available to them and has been generally used in cases of minor theft, criminal damage and fraud. Under this system we have seen people avoid the prospect of being imprisoned and have often allowed fathers to remain close to their children or in some cases even remain at home. The system has also seen many being released once their fine has been paid. We have seen this system has also been mainly used on younger criminals under the age of 21 who would normally have entered the prison system however this scheme has in many circumstances seen them learn skills that have helped them. One prime example being the Department Store chain Liache which has successfully used the scheme to have shop-lifters train in various shop fitting skills, even seeing some of those involved gaining full time employment.

Furthermore the MCUR, which Rokkenjima was a key author of, states in Article 5 "No one shall be required to perform forced or compulsory labour." with the condition that the term “forced or compulsory labour” shall not include " any work required to be done in the ordinary course of detention imposed according to the provisions of Article 5 of this Convention or during conditional release from such detention;" In addition Article 6 of this treaty states that "Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be deprived of his liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law:" This is followed with several conditions one of which is "the lawful detention of a person after conviction by a competent court;" As a result of our legal system being fully open to public scrutiny, using a judicial system similar to that of most nations on Mundus and with access to fair representation being provided I believe that Royal Seleucid is fully compliant with a document Rokkenjima have held up as a benchmark in Human Rights.

Unlike slavery in Tamora and with one tribe in Waddan "Legal Servitude" is not multi-generational and in most cases lasts much less time than a traditional prison sentence. We are of the belief that by giving a clearer insight into the system that Rokkenjima will see that our system is compliant with the document they were a key author of and therefore sanctions against Royal Seleucid are unnecessary. It is however my sad duty to announce that with immediate effect and until such a time as Rokkenjima see fit to lift their sanctions the following will be in place.

A ban on the export of military equipment or dual-use equipment.
A ban on the importation of goods or resources produced through slave labour or indentured servitude.
A ban on the importation of oil, natural gas, or rare earth minerals regardless of the means utilized in their extraction and transport.
A ban on Royal Seleucid firms and entities conducting business with firms and entities in Rokkenjima.
A freeze on any and all assets in Royal Seleucid held by government officials, military leaders and public figures advocating for the sanctioning of Royal Seleucid.
A ban on travel for leaders of Rokkenjima to Royal Seleucid territory.
Individual sanctions upon the leadership of Rokkenjima.
A ban on Rokkenjima firms from utilizing any portion of the Royal Seleucid financial system.

Following reports of a threat to the nuclear power station at Nemphis a disaster looms for the Midaranye region. As such we would urge  Nomarch Soberkakht to cease his activities. We shall actively engage with our neighbours in Waddan to gain permission to base Tondro attack aircraft and Idigena attack helicopters in the North of their nation. Should the Pharoah deem it neccessary we will utilise these aircraft in support of ensuring the security of the nuclear power station. It is our hope the government of Waddan shall see the need for such security.

King Heydar
