Caspian Naval Base To Be Established

Sergeant Posts: 131 Group: Members Member #630 Joined: August 27, 2010	ACON Report: Today, Supreme Admiral Sven Al-Jalahimah of the Military Maritime Fleet of Aghaba announced that the current naval base in the Port of Nekah, Al Adib is to be handed over to the Aghaban naval force. Within the same hour President Jean Meslier of Al Adib along with his military cabinet made the same announcement, citing that it will "usher in a new era of safety and stability for the nation." The current navy of Al Adib is said to be dividing itself into either a Coast Guard or new vessels in the MMFA. The newly acquiesced base will provide Aghaba with long sought access to the Caspian Sea, greatly expanding its military capabilities in the region. Supreme Admiral Al-Jalahimah also added that it will take some time before the formal establishment of the base, but Aghaban MMFA officers will begin to take over duties in the coming weeks.

Comrade Bitchqueen Posts: 4,159 Group: Forum Mods Member #83 Joined: October 4, 2004	The Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus requests an immediate inspection of this naval base to be built in Nekah. Should our request be refused, the Scythirian government shall be forced to consider this naval base a threat to its national security and its already active peacekeeping force patrolling the Caspian and certain actions may be required to be brought into operation. We eagerly anticipate your reply. - The Scythirian Foreign Ministry Edited by Comrade Queen, Oct 9 2011, 06:18 PM.

The request for inspection of this facility is denied - as Al Adib holds no formal military ties with The Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus. Al Adib will not host potentially hostile foreign military personnel in its borders without extensive diplomatic discussion. In addition, Aghaban authorization must also be granted. - The Al Adib Commission for Foreign Affairs -

Alexanderhaven will remain neutral in this conflict unless His Imperial Majesty in Constantinople gives orders to do otherwise.

Comrade Bitchqueen Posts: 4,159 Group: Forum Mods Member #83 Joined: October 4, 2004	Because of Al Adib's refusal to allow inspections of the Aghaban naval base, Scythirus sees no option but to conclude that this naval base is part of an insidious joint plot between the two countries to conduct operations against the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus. Both nations have one standard week to cease construction on this base or Scythirus will prepare to exercise police action against each of your respective countries. - The Scythirian Foreign Ministry

Private Posts: 12 Group: Members Member #697 Joined: September 29, 2011	Al Adib finds such a hasty and hostile course of action bewildering and highly counterproductive. Al Adib poses no threat to the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus, however any actions taken against against our nation on the basis of paranoid conspiracies will be considered an act of war. The construction of the Nekah Naval base will continue as planned. In light of the harsh, hawkish rhetoric of the Scythirian Foreign Ministry, Al Adib seeks a mediator to step in and take charge of negotiations aimed at resolving this situation. - The Al Adib Commission for Foreign Affairs -

There is no such "insidious plot" in existence, as your conspiracy theorists would like to believe. Threats and intimidation will not cease the construction of this base. Any attempt to interrupt the operation will be considered a declaration of war. Aghaba demands a reasonable and diplomatic solution to this matter." Signed, Nikolai Aoun, Defense Minister.

Comrade Queen	Oct 10 2011, 04:16 PM Post #9
Comrade Bitchqueen Posts: 4,159 Group: Forum Mods Member #83 Joined: October 4, 2004	There would be no reason for Aghaba to strengthen its security by building a naval base on Al Adib's Caspian shore. Scythirus has for over two decades already sufficiently patrolled the Caspian Sea with its own naval forces and maintained order in the area. During the collapse of Nag Ehgoeg following the dissolution of the World Military Dominion, it was Scythirian ships that ensured that their civil war did not spread to other shores. Aghaba would not be conducting anything that the Sacred Holy Empire was not already accomplishing. Ergo, we must suspect that there are other motives for this base. The God-Emperor is currently considering the Roman Empire's offer. - The Scythirian Foreign Ministry



Aghaba	Oct 10 2011, 06:26 PM Post #10
Sergeant Posts: 131 Group: Members Member #630 Joined: August 27, 2010	"While the Roman Empire's offer is well received, Aghaba seeks clear reasoning as to why its military ventures should be subject to regional scrutiny. If a third party inspection is to be granted, there must be a set of specific criteria that are to be looked for. Aghaba presents no danger to regional stability by expanding its capabilities within its own sphere of influence. The Scythirian contribution to peace in the Caspian in the post-Dominion era is noted and recognized as a great help to the Middle East - This does not, in our view, mean that the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus is entitled to an exclusive defensive grasp on the Caspian Sea. Aghaban leadership refuses to rely on a single nation for defense of its' own interests. If his majesty the God-Emperor finds it to be conducive to allaying any fear or doubt, the Admiralship of the Military Maritime Fleet of Aghaba is willing to conduct joint naval exercises in the Persian[?] Gulf with the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus."

Comrade Bitchqueen Posts: 4,159 Group: Forum Mods Member #83 Joined: October 4, 2004	While the Admiralship of Aghaba's offer for joint exercises seems generous, once again the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus is forced to wonder why Aghaba's government and its ally Al Adib do not wish this base to meet regional scrutiny if in fact it's just a peacekeeping venture as they claim. The God-Emperor urges his two neighboring leaders to accept the Roman Empire's offer, as it is the closest thing to compromise he's willing to offer. The Roman Empire has nothing to gain by offering its impartial adjudication in this matter. - The Scythirian Foreign Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Secure Encrypted Line - To His Majesty, the Emperor of the Romans: I would like to remind you of the Middle Eastern Great Powers Treaty that continues to guide our region to this day. Because of such, you surely understand my country's concerns over Aghaba's straining reach for new heights of power. Both they, and their ally Al Adib must learn to respect the power that Scythirus wields over its respective sphere of the Middle East. Without Scythirus' guiding hand, they may not make the wisest decisions for their nations' stability. - God-Emperor Hirak-Al Voramix

Private Posts: 12 Group: Members Member #697 Joined: September 29, 2011	Al Adiban leadership remains steadfast in its' refusal to host a foreign contingent without a clear set of criteria that are to be searched for at Nekah. Aghaba has also made very clear that it will not accept an inspection without such a basis. If the Roman Empire's diplomatic task force is cleared for entry into Al Adib, then it is likely that Nekah will be opened by the Aghabans for them to tour. Until a formalized list of intentions is put forth, Al Adib has no further comment. - The Al Adib Commission for Foreign Affairs -

Sergeant Posts: 131 Group: Members Member #630 Joined: August 27, 2010	ACON Report: Further details on the new MMFA base in Nekah, Al Adib have emerged. At a closed forum, Supreme Admiral Al-Jalahimah mentioned details pertaining to the controversial base. The Supreme Adrmiral is said to have spoken of the integration of Al Adiban vessels, the possibility of constructing an additional drydock, and plans to build an extension of Aghaba's missile defense system. The missile defense system, completed in 2009, is an extensive precaution against possible attack. It was heavily supported by the military at the time of its proposal, but opposed by many policymakers who believed it to be too costly. If plans to stretch the systems' reach to Al Adib are factual, it will be sure to cause many to wonder what purpose a national initiative has outside of Aghaba's borders. Al Abad is sure to flare with debate. No comment has yet been made by Al Adiban officials. Posted Image

Comrade Bitchqueen Posts: 4,159 Group: Forum Mods Member #83 Joined: October 4, 2004	Upon the revelation of the missile defense system, the God-Emperor has become outraged. Scythirus demands that all construction come to an immediate halt or it will most assuredly intervene when the deadline it has issued to the governments of Aghaba and Al Adib runs out. - The Scythirian Foreign Ministry Edited by Comrade Queen, Oct 12 2011, 03:50 PM.

Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	Encrypted Message to Aghaba and Al Adlib On Behalf of Constantinople If it is creating tensions with a local Great Power, then they are indeed of threat not just to neighbors, but the region as a whole. Once again, cease your activities until a settlement can be reached. Continuing to conduct military exercises is worsening the diplomatic situation here and Constantinople wishes to avoid war at all cost. We are not asking you to submit to Scythirus, but you cannot provoke them either.

Map Tsar and Southern Gentleman Posts: 9,266 Group: Admin Member #120 Joined: April 21, 2005	Moscow wasn't entirely interested in pleasing Scythirus, they had scorned the Empire so many years prior that it didn't care for the Persians much at all. However, it seemed for whatever reason (given that the treaty between Scythirus and the Romans was a secret) the Roman Emperor, through its vassals of Alexanderhaven were willing to make compromises for the price of peace. Having requested Moscow assistance, the Emperor felt compelled to answer not out of any concern for the God-Emperor and his persona concerns but out of fealty to Constantinople and its will. The Russian Tsar would send Dimitry Shuvalov, son of a Count within the Russian court and a man who was a rising authority in middle eastern affairs for the Russians. He'd already successfully negotiated initial diplomacy with the Semitistani and the Tsar felt he was as good as any other diplomat he might could send. Thus he was dispatched to Alexanderhaven where he would await with their officials until such time as they were given clearance to enter the contested city and port. In the meantime, the Tsar wrote a leader to the leadership of Aghaba and Al Adlib. Official Transmission The Russian Empire To the leadership of Aghaba and Al Adlib respectfully, The current situation in the Middle East is volatile and unless handle with utmost care and resourcefulness you will find yourselves both in a conflict that is not only unnecessary but also, I suspect, equally unwanted. So is the will of the Scythirian Empire when it comes to handling regional affairs for Russia itself knows this burden of fact all to well. I implore your authorities to allow a diplomat of my choosing along with a Alexanderhaven counterpart, acting on behalf of the will of Constantinople, to come to the port of Nekah to inspect the facility and the fleet. These official shall come in the name of peace and will arrive to inspect, not exclusively, the following items: -Size of the Fleet (both present and projected through current construction processes) -Existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction -Size and scope of military personnel both naval and otherwise -Care of the Caspian environment -Undisclosed items/subjects of interest. Understand that I cannot, for fear of deception, disclose to your governments all items for which our inspectors will be asked to review. This is in the hopes that our inspectors will be able to provide the clearest report possible of which, it is hoped, will dissuade the authority of Jihamed from war. If your governments refuse our inspectors than there is little more that I can do for your situation and little else that can be done period to keep war from erupting. Understand Russia cares little for the willing and concerns of Jihamed but does respect and honor peace, for all regions in our world. Sincerely, Tsar Alexei Paulovich Romanov II King and Autocrat of all the Russias Edited by NRE, Oct 13 2011, 04:46 PM.

Your inspectors are permitted to enter Nekah at their earliest convenience - assuming they are cleared by Al Adib to enter the country. Supreme Admiral Al-Jalahimah and Nikolai Aoun will greet and accompany your diplomats as a show of respect to the process. I will provide no guarantees that if once the inspection is concluded and Scythirus is still displeased, we will act in their interests. I would like to personally thank both The Russian Empire and Alexanderhaven for your willingness to resolve this issue, and we as a nation hope that conflict can be averted."

Private Posts: 12 Group: Members Member #697 Joined: September 29, 2011	As the diplomats stepped from the plane, there was no reception for them save for the waiting column of armored sedans and their military escort. The two dignitaries were met by the head of security and Nekah's mayor, who briefly held introductions and proceeded to usher their guests into the vehicles. It was a short drive to the naval base, expedited by the imposing motorcade's ability to part traffic along the way. As they neared the base, the warships of Aghaba's new Caspian fleet were visible for a moment before disappearing behind the enormous reinforced walls surrounding the facility. Guard towers, a 10 foot tall wall, and plenty of barbed wire and machine gun emplacements greeted the diplomats as they made their way from the outer checkpoint to the main gate. Aghaban soldiers and IFVs lined the road into the base where the Aghaban officials waited on a raised platform, official cameramen slinking off to the side. Russia and Alexaderhaven's diplomats were urged to exit their vehicles and make their way up the platform...

After all, this was not the kind of visit any nation wanted to entertain. If the tables were turn, certainly the Tsar would not have rolled out a red carpet reception. Having made it to the ports both representatives met with the officials, introducing themselves in the process. After the pleasantries and formalities were over with, both representatives got to work. The facility was relatively large therefore, there was much to see and be seen before the Russian and Alexanderhaven representatives could make a formal decision over the intent and purpose of the facility. There were several ships already well under construction along with other facilities Shuvalov personally wanted to see before the day was over with.
