*To this summit have been invited the states of Semitistan, Aghaba, the CMESS and ASA. Other states can join only in the capacity of observers* The Grand Duke Ottokar I Přemysl had left Europe for the first time since he had accede to the throne of Marslava. He had done so in sight of a very important summit which was to define Marslava's foreign policy and the future of the region for the next years. The recent conflict against Azzam and Eretz Zion had made clear that more regional cooperation and integration was the reply to the challenges posed by the Middle East's many warlords. Moreover Prague had become aware that the only way to ensure the completition of the Veliky pipeline was through a secure peace between the Middle East's countries. The Marslavan delegation, building on talks started with the Republic of Semitistan, had brought forward the draft of a treaty which the Grand Duke believed would satisfy all states and improve significantly the prospects for a peaceful Middle East. Such was its text: Treaty of Sinop Preamble: I) The Parties of thos treaty recognize that they share the purpose of maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East II) The parties recognize that their relations should be and remain peaceful and based over mutual respect of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity III) The Parties recognize that these goals are best served by their cooperation in one treaty organization, here referred to as the Treaty of Sinop Organization.

Education and Science: XIV) The Parts pledge to increase cooperation in the fields of education and research, through among all: XIV.1) A programme of exchange of scholars and students involving each other's universities, for the purpose of improving academic standards everywhere XIV.2) A programme of exchange of professionals for the purpose of improving their training |

With the exception of article XII.2-3, the teaty seems to be in order. Due to the Socialistic policies of the CMESS, private interprise is rare. The rest of the treaty is fully accepted by the Confederacy. |

The Grand Duchy of Marslava appreciates the remarks of the invite delegations. We propose that the respective delegations proceed to sign the treaty and ensure it is ratified by the respective legislations. We also accept the reservation made by the government of the CMESS, Art XII will not apply to the relations between the CMESS and the other members (this of course if no other party has any objection). We also propose to discuss the governance of this alliance: we propose that the heads of state meet regularly in order to discuss the current events and the amendments to this treaty which will become necessary. We also propose to create joint commissions to amdinister each section of the treaty and improve cooperation between the parties of this treaty. Finally, the government of Porcu is welcome to participate in the travaux préparatoires of this treaty. Edited by Alberto, Jan 7 2013, 02:17 PM.

Upon careful reconsideration, the Federal Republic of Aghaba has determined that signing the treaty of Sinop would run counter to long-term national goals, and thus cannot enter into this pact. |
