"My fellow Parliament members and people's representatives, in the past was Baltuvia on the edge of the political scenery of the Middle East and North Africa. Baltuvia had only less influence and nearly now weight in these regions and seemed to be an easy target for such expansionist powers as the Bagdhad Pact. These of you that warned from a Paradisian invasion of United Elias where right and stated this conflic potencial in the right scale. A superpower just behind the Baltuvian border formed and seem to aim at an economic, political and a military superiority in the Middle East and regions that neighbour it. When Baltuvia decided to expand its sphere of direct influence and declared a part of the Sudanese area as Baltuvian territory, where we brought the population fresh drinking water, food, education and more than only the basic human rights, this new power block threatened us with war. Paradise, who fought a war of aggression shortly before that, condemned Baltuvia 's action to support a local starving population. This raises the question if it is legal to conquer a territory with the use of force and if it is illegal to gain territories by winning the hearts of the local population. Recent polls have shown, that the people that are new citizens of the Democratic Republic of Baltuvia, some are here in the Parliament as representatives of their regions, appreciate the Baltuvian influence of this area. Even a foreign nation, the Resplendet Dawn, encountered the pro-Baltuvian attitude of these people and recongised the Baltuvian annection. What went wrong, so that Paradise felt like threatening us with a war without regarding ANY diplomatic efforts? At first, we said that military is sent into the area. That was true, because in this region were rebel groups that threatened Baltuvian NGOs already working there. It was not our aim to have violent rebels within our territories! Then, the public flow of information lacked. A full statement including a full explanation of Baltuvia's plans there was missing, too. So partially it was our fault, yes! BUT, Paradise has not regarded any diplomatic efforts, and I really do not believe that threaten someone with total destruction is a form of sensible diplomacy! Also, no other power of the BP questioned the fast threat to Baltuvia by Paradise. It seemed that all of the BP nations were ready to follow one other into a war. Don't these nations have an own opinion? However, to turn to the points I mentioned first in my speech, Baltuvia needs to gain more political weight in the Middle East and North Africa, but not as a violent threat to others, but as a nation willing to help those who need help. There are a three points, that mark the so called Baltuvia Doctrine: 1. Baltuvia is in the need to engage fully into the UNSFOR mission and the stability of other African regions. Additional to the work done in the UNSFOR area, other regions must be helped, too, to ensure a certain level of wealth and education all over the regions where we can help. Everyone has dignity and this dignity must me saved! 2. Baltuvia must be ready to face any military aggression against the nation itself and to a certain part it must be ready to help to repel any military aggression against its closest allies like the CNNP. Therefore a military build-up is necessary. 3. A full involvement of Baltuvian into the International Freedom Pact is necessary, as it might provide a shield against aggressions that follow the stronger Baltuvian foreign policy. Because, to be honest,the fear of a BP invasion in Baltuvia is existend and cannot be denied. These are the points that should guarantee the existence of Baltuvia as sovereign political entity in the Middle East." - President Ahmed al-Sheik bin Salaf al-Mohammed |

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE PROVISIONAL SENATORIAL GOVERNMENT -- We will back any all measure to insure the Baltuvian Doctrine is adhered by. The new Christian Democratic Party and Government has also pledged its compliance and enforcement of this doctrine. The People's Republic of The CNNP stands by its ally and neighbor. We pledge our protection to the Democratic Republic of Baltuvia, not only as a matter of national security, but for the sake of international stability against this "Bagdhad Curtain". It must be closed and sealed shut. |

OOC: That doesn't quite have the ring of the "Iron Curtain". Calling the Baghdad Pact the Baghdad Curtain is like calling the Warsaw Pact the Warsaw Curtain and "the Iron Curtain" was not usually used in place of "the Warsaw Pact nations". Usually it was used in the context of "behind the Iron Curtain" or some such. But it's you word do with it as you wish. |

Well, Iron Curtain wouldn't really apply here because it was more associated with the Communists desire for "heavy industry" - like the iron industry and Stalin - Man of Steel. However, I am open to suggestions... :cry: |

I didn't intend to shoot the idea down. I just put all that forward as something to consider. |

OOC: Desert Storm? The most sophisticated attack that hit Arabia?? IC: We thank those nations standing on our side for their support. We also wish to express that the Baltuvia doctrine includes a part about the defence of our allies... OOC: Oil border instead of iron curtain? EDIT: WHoot!! 100st post!!!!!! I actually wanted the Baltuvia doctrine itself as 100st post, but that changed.. |
