Chief of the General Staff Hulusi Akar addresses Bosnia, and Turkey in Sarajevo

_{“Dear President Meral Akşener, dear Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli, dear President Murat Selimovic, the people of Bosnia and Turkey. Today we have defeated the grave evil of dictatorships that have always plagued this region of Europe. Today we have restored democracy, the rule of law, and order in the great nation of Bosnia despite the best efforts of the Demirovic regime, they have been toppled today by the brave forces of Turkey and Bosnia. Today on the 10th of September, 2019, we have once again restored the democratic will of the Bosnian people. A vision that had been granted to the Turks by our Eternal President, and saved for the Bosnian people by the sons of the Eternal President! The plague of Demirovic that has infected the Bosnian State will be purged and brought to justice, Demirovic will be brought to justice in Turkey! In an unseen move, unseen to history of the Bosnian people, the failed and ridiculous coup against the Bosnian democracy has been stopped! The Turkish Armed Forces has once again showed the world that it fights for the democratic ideals of our Eternal President, 100 years ago in Turkey, and today in Bosnia. They will face the heaviest of punishments, no one can have any doubts about that. Today I would like to make one thing clear, the traitors who have worked with the bastard Demirovic are not representatives of the great Bosnian state, or the glorious history we share together! The democracy of Bosnia is as important to the Turkish people as that of ours, and we will protect it to our last breathe. Today I pay my respects to the fallen heros of the Turkish and Bosnian nations, may their souls find a home in heaven. They are the mrtyres who will be remembered forever as Bosnia once again declares its independence again from dictatorship! May it be from the evils of Yugoslavia, or the evils of Demirovic. As our Eternal President put it best ‘Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation’, and that has been restored by the Turkish Armed Forces for our Bosnian brothers! Together we will stand until the end of time, as brothers, on the same path towards victory! Democracy is a right that belongs to all people, not just the Turks and Bosnians. May this be the last dictatorship that needs to be toppled in Europe, but if the call of service ever comes to the Turkish people again to save the democratic institutions we value so much, we will never shy from answering the call. It was first in Turkey, later in Korea, and today in Bosnia that we have done just that! Thank you and may the Eternal President bless the Turkish and Bosnian Republic!”}

Court of Cassation (Turkish Supreme Court) ruling on 'Bosnia vs Ismet Demirovic'

In a trial that lasted a little over a hour, the Court of Cassation ruled unanimously the guilty verdict, and that he would face 341 years in prison, serving his sentence at Diyarbakır Prison. The trial has also gone down in modern Turkish History as the fastest of the last 15 years. He's transfer to Diyarbakır Prison has already begun, with Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli being quoted as saying "Today justice has been served for the scum of the earth.". Back in Bosnia Chief of the General Staff Hulusi Akar has declared Ismit Demirovic's party as a terrorist organization, whose members will be detained and deported to Turkey upon arrest to Diyarbakır Prison. The Turkish and Bosnian Armed Forces have begun a nationwide search for members of the 'Independent Bloc' terrorist organization, that was formerly a political party in Bosnia which has now been outlawed by the Chief of the General Staff Hulusi Akar.

KMC News- “New era for Kazakh aviation,” says Zhaparov

The government has announced the finalisation of a number of improvements to Krazhnoyevsk’s aviation system, ranging from a new, improved international fleet; a re-vamped Air Astana; the expansion and renovation of the Almaty and Nursultan airports, and much more. The injection of funding, President Zhaparov says, is the beginning of a plan to boost the nation’s international status, as well as generating large amounts of revenue through providing low-cost flights between Europe and Asia (possible due to the nation’s centralised geographical location).

“At the moment,” says Air Astana CEO Sanzhar Abdulayev, “a flight between, for example, Western Europe and the Far East will cost several hundred US dollars, due to many factors. However, with this new funding, we will be able to change this by offering cost-effective alternatives to other, more mainstream airlines- possible due to a number of methods (such as the usage of fuel-efficient aircraft like the Boeing 787) which reduce running costs, and therefore prices for the consumer. As a result, in the coming months, we will be seeing low-cost, long-haul flights between Europe and Asia emerging, connecting at our hubs in Almaty and Nursultan. As of now, the market for cost-efficient long-haul flights is relatively open- tested by only a handful of aircraft- and we hope to challenge this by introducing Air Astana as a key player in the world of aviation.”

Nation remembers the horror of 9/11- Earlier today, President Zhaparov and many other significant Krazhnoyevskis have taken to social media to express their sorrow on the 18th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in the USA (The united american-states). “Today,” tweeted Zhaparov, “marks the anniversary of a magnitude of suffering and grief almost unknown to modern humanity. 18 years on, the events of 9/11 are to many but an event in history, but we must continue to stand with the brave victims on whom the vicious attacks have taken such a toll.”

Business Minister “eager” to extend Krazhnoyevski corporations into China’s FTZs (Zhonghua minzu gongheguo)- The Ministry of Business and Investment has made clear that it is “looking forward” to further extending economic relations with China, by announcing their wish to establish bases for Air Astana (aviation sector), BTA Banks (banking sector) and Santec (Information Technology sector) in a number of Chinese Free Trade Zones. The terms of this may be negotiated between the two nations in due course. It is also the case that the Business Minister is “excited, and indeed looking forward to” the potential opening of 5G trial areas in major cities such as Nursultan, Almaty and Shymkent, and wishes to enter into negotiations with Huawei as to the terms of this.

Police conduct armed raid on house in Nursultan- A Special Armed Response Unit conducted a raid on a house situated in a residential area in suburban Nursultan last night. Although very little information has been released by the relevant authorities, it has been confirmed that the raid was executed in conjunction with the investigation regarding the attempted assassination of Foreign Minister Alexei Mikhailov. The man responsible for the attack, Ahmad Jahan, has since been extradited to his native Afghanistan (Islamic State of Afghanistan).

Sit down interview with Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli

Ece Üner: “Hello ladies and gentlemen, we are live from Çankaya Mansion with the 33rd Prime Minister of the Turkish Republic Devlet Bahçeli, thank you for allowing this special interview.”

Devlet Bahçeli: “By all means it is my duty to welcome the press into my home.”

Ece Üner: “Now the first thing that is on everyone's mind, what is the situation in Bosnia?”

Devlet Bahçeli: “Victory, we have showed the world once again that it is the Turkish people who fight for justice. Together with our Bosnian brothers, in a swift move, we stopped the Independent Bloc from destroying Bosnia.”

Ece Üner: “Many in the European Union have criticized this move in Bosnia as an attack on the EU, even with EuroCorp being mobilized to the Bosnian border.”

Devlet Bahçeli: “If the toppoling of a dictator is seen as the invasion of the European Union, then yes we invaded the European Union. But they have half the mind to know that is not the case, their deployment of EuroCorp is just an attempted show of strength by Brussels. As they helplessly watch as we do their job of restoring democracy in an EU state.”

Ece Üner: “Moving onto the European Union itself, despite the motion in the Grand National Assembly passing to join the EU, we have yet to do so. How would you explain this to the Turkish people?”

Devlet Bahçeli: “Blame Brussels, they have refused to sit down with my administration despite the fact that the paperwork is already done. Everything is set in place for Turkey to join the EU, but the stubbornness of Brussels elite has prevented this.”

Ece Üner: “Is President Konstantinović to blame?”

Devlet Bahçeli: “Yes, he has made this a personal issue, and I will not play his game. And allow him to play us like a fiddle. Until they call us to sign this treaty, and aspiration of EU membership is dead.”

Ece Üner: “What about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization? During your time as President, Turkey became a dialogue partner, and is currently the chairman of the energy club.”

Devlet Bahçeli: “The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and our role in it is something that is very important to our role in the global play. Something that should not be taken lightly by any stretch of the immagionat, however joining the group for the time being is out of the question.”

Ece Üner: “Thank you Prime Minister Bahçeli for taking the time to sit down with us, that is all the time we have.”

PGP Chairwoman Ayla-Ah Kim in Sarajevo

Meeting with officials across Sarajevo, both Turkish and Bosnian, as well as members of the Turkish Armed Forces. Visiting the very regiment she once served in as part of the TAF back in 2015-2016, who is now in charge of the peace operation in Bosnia against ‘Independent Bloc’ terrorists. After some meetings, she spoke to media outside Sarajevo International Airport as she was set to return back to Turkey.

_{“Today I was reminded of something my grandmother had told me when I was very young, something that is true to this very day. As I met with our Mehmetçik’s (Turkish Soldiers) and in their eyes today I saw something that I had not in years. The same spark that lit the War of Independence in the blue eyes of our Eternal President. That vision for peace, and democracy, for the survival of one people, doing all we can. I had asked my grandmother once if she had ever seen our Eternal President. She told me yes, just this morning. The year was 1987. It made no sense to me, was she referring to one the many portraits of the Eternal President. I asked what she meant. She told me saw Atatürk in my eyes, in the eyes of very child of this Republic. It reminded me that we see him everyday, may it be on the farms of Turkey, as our farmers work day and night. Or is the future of a young girl looking to stand out in the world. Every morning as our eyes wake to the bright sun of this Republic. In the eyes of our Mehmetçik’s. It is that vision in which our soldiers stand today in Bosnia, with some spirit for victory that we had one hundred years ago for our nation. For our Bosnian Brothers, not for some political gain, but to do what is right. Here today this is a victory of our Eternal President that our soldiers stand here today fighting for our Eternal Presidents values in Bosnia. As they fought for them in 1919, later in Korea, and across the world. It is our duty to protect, defend, and die for these values. I once stood in those same uniforms, nothing but pride for the flag that was on my arm and chest. To only dream to be able to lift up the Crimson Banner as high as our Eternal President had. That is something I still fight for, and will continue to do so till my mortal heart stops beating.”}

Hungarian EU Representative Questions Turkish Troop Deployments

In fulfilling his role as Hungarian EU representative responsible for observing the security situation in Bosnia, the baron Toldi Ferenc has raised concerns over the ever-growing number of Turkish troops in Bosnia. In a short report to Brussels, the baron stated that:

"The situation has largely calmed, and while arrests are being made, there is little visible unrest in the country. In-spite of this state of affairs, the Turkish government continues to deploy more and more soldiers to Bosnia."

While some limited deployments could be explained as securing Bosnia's borders in cooperation with EuroCorps, Serbian and Hungarian border guards, the current attitude of the Turkish military in Bosnia has been described as entirely contrary to this explanation, with Turkish and Bosnian forces taking an confrontational stance to the EU forces on the border. This present situation on the border in combination with current wide-spread military jurisdiction and ongoing large-scale Turkish deployments to Bosnia, the present situation is beginning to take on a more hostile, bordering on sinister undertone. It is my opinion as EU observer on the situation in Bosnia that the EU adopt a resolution calling on the Turkish government to cease its continued deployments to Bosnia and implement a speedy withdrawal and end of martial law in Bosnia.

Turkish-Bosnian 'Victory in Bosnia' Military Parade

With 10,000 Turkish and 7,500 Bosnian troops marching in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli, Chief of the General Staff Hulusi Akar, Prime Minister Elect Bakir Izetbegović and President Murat Selimovic, as well as other high ranking Turkish and Bosnian officials. A massive military parade was held in Sarajevo, with the Turkish Military Band playing 'Ceddin Deden' as the two nations armies marched saluting the Turkish and Bosnian delegations. In the parade itself both nations tanks, armored vehicles were on display, including the Turkish J-600t Yıldırım that had arrived yesterday in Sarajevo. Thousands had also poured into the streets of Sarajevo to witness the parade. Waving Turkish and Bosnian flags, cheering in support of the two nations armies. As the J-600t Yıldırım, surrounded by Altay Tanks neared the Turkish and Bosnian delegations, they stopped, the soldiers saluting the officials as Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli rose to his feet, approaching a podium that was set up for him.

_{"Brothers, sisters, the children of the Nationalist Movement. The heirs of our Eternal President, of the Turkish and Bosnian armies that have marched to save the Bosnian Republic. Mostar, is Bosnia, Tuzla is Bosnia, Banja Luka is Bosnian! Sarajveo is the motherland of the Bosnian people! Who does the European Union think they are to tell the Turkish and Bosnian people that they do not have the right to restore the democratic state of the Bosnian nation. The path of Konstantinović is the wrong path, the embrace of 'Independent Bloc' terrorists, and of dictatorships is no different than the slavery the Yugoslavs forced on the Bosnian people. Regardless if he they accept it or not, Turkey has the right to be here to defend its Bosnian brothers. It is time for Bosnia to become a great nation once more! For those who ask what are the Turks doing in Bosnia, take a look at yourselves and ask what you did not due, that we have done for Bosnia! If they have any ounce of ethics, shame, they must take a look at what they are doing in Bosnia in the first place! If they wish to enter Bosnia, to restore the 'Independent Bloc' terrorists, take a look at the world around us, and you will see what kind of hell they will turn Bosnia into. As brother countries, it is our duty to protect our territorial integrity, our safety, and to stop the horrendous attacks our allies have seen. We cannot leave this up to faith, we cannot sit on the sidelines and watch. We cannot abandon our Bosnian Brothers! Whatever rock you lift up in Bosnia, you will hear the cry of 'How happy to say I am a Bosnian' and 'How happy to have been saved by our Turkish brothers'! Those who wish to cut the branches of Turkish Bosnian brotherhood, to stop our great movement to save this nation. Do not get your hopes up, Bosnia is our problem, democracy in Bosnia is of utmost importance to us! May the Eternal President bless the Turkish and Bosnian Republics! The soldiers of our great nations, do we have your blessing?"}

He said as he stepped back from the podium, raising up the Grey Wolf salute, the soldiers chant back 'YES!' over and over again. After a minute the Turkish Military band resume playing, playing the 'Hücum Marşı' as they do. The march continuing, Turkish and Bosnian jets fly overhead with a streak of red, white and green flares behind them. The crowd roaring with joy as the Turkish and Bosnian flags are raised up high, marking a new beginning of the Bosnian Republic. One of greatness, one of democracy, one of independence.

Kefqaz Islamic Congress Declared a Terrorist Organization


By Majid Soleymani

KHAYBERBAD, PAYETAKHT --- The newly formed political party aimed at "representing all the oppressed Muslims and minorities in the Federation", the Kefqaz Islamic Congress (KIC) has been declared a terrorist organization by the Kefqaz Ministry of the Interior. The party was the main organizing power behind the large-scale protests that have been taking place in the Republics of Zarjahan and Qabyla by mainly the Chechens, Avars and Circassians. President Taheri commented the move and said that any organisations aimed at eroding the foundational pillars of the Federation will be disbanded, by force if need be.

Sulim Kulayev, the chairman of the party, was apprehended alongside a dozen other high ranking members of the party by the Kefqaz Special Operations Forces during raids against the leadership of the party. The remaining members of the party have called the designation "a deliberate move to suppress any real opposition within the political sphere of the Federation". Many of the terrorist groups currently fighting against the government have also denounced the move through their official media outlets.

Rachel Willoughby, a senior analyst in the International Relations department of the University of Leeds had this to say: "While declaring the KIC as a terrorist organization might bring some short-term benefits, the long-term effects will be much worse. It's very likely that many of the supporters of the party thought of it as their last ditch attempt at a democratic opposition to the government led by the National Salvation Party, and with that last effort gone they will be more willing to join any armed groups fighting against the government. Now, the intelligence services of Kefqaziya aren't newcomers to their business, so it also likely this was partly coordinated just so they will be able to follow new recruits and perhaps get some bigger fish through them".

Kefqaziya Purchases Military Equipment from Zhonghua minzu gongheguo


By Hamed Heydarpanah

KHAYBERBAD, PAYETAKHT --- Negotiations between the government of Zhonghua minzu gongheguo and the Kefqaz Ministry of Defence have concluded today with the Kefqazis deciding to purchase a number of military equipment from a number of different companies within the country. The total price of the transaction was not disclosed by the Ministry of Defence, but they said the full amount will be paid in a few seperate installments.

The full list of military equipment purchased by the Kefqaz Ministry of Defence is as follows:

- 15 CAIG Wing Loong Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles from Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute
- 250 Units of the HJ-12 Anti-Tank Guided Missiles from NORINCO
- 300 Units of the VP11 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles from NORINCO
- 12 Z-10 Attack Helicopters from the Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation

Most of the equipment will be transferred to the 1st Ossetian Light Infantry Regiment (1st OLIR) and the 11th Combat Aviation Brigade, both of which are currently engaged in the Anti-Terror Operation within the Republics of Zarjahan, Tyrbriz, and Qabyla. The UAVs will be transferred to an unnamed airbase in the country, and take part in both reconnaissance and combat operations, as the CAIG Wing Loong is capable of being fitted with air-to-surface weapons.

MHP Headquarters, Ankara, Turkey

Four black BMW’s arrive at the MHP HQ, all with the PGP and Turkish flag on it. As the media storms them vehicles, PGP Chairwoman Ayla-ah Kim exits, making her way inside with her aides to meet with Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli. The hallway leading into his office is filled with MHP election posters, a massive steel door with the Grey Wolf flag engraved, two guards standing by who nod seeing Ayla-ah Kim. Opening the door to reveal the Prime Minister Devlet Bahçeli inside, looking out the window of his office. Slowly turning towards the door, coming eye to eye with Ayla-ah as the doors close behind her.

Devlet Bahçeli: approaching Kim, his hand rises to shake hers. As the two shake hands, a cool atmosphere feels the room “Please Ms. Kim, take a seat.” Motioning towards the meeting table that had been set up for them

Ayla-ah Kim: Doing as the Prime Minister asked, she takes her seat, crossing her legs. Waiting for the Prime Minister to take his seat

Devlet Bahçeli: Taking his seat, he looks up at Ayla, clearing his throat before he speaks “First I would like to thank you for coming on such short notice, I know you are rather busy with the ongoing negotiations with the President about forming a coalition.”

Ayla-ah Kim: She nods smiling “Which I am sure you aren’t too pleased about.”

Devlet Bahçeli: “Of course, but I think with the changing times, the continued collapse of the İYİ Parti. I would like to propose forming a coalition between the PGP and MHP, putting an end to the İYİ era.”

Ayla-ah Kim: Scoffing “And why would I do that, you know very well that if the PGP and İYİ enter coalition, it would mark the end of your Prime Ministership, throwing your career back into the pages of history.”

Devlet Bahçeli: “I’m glad you bring up history” He slides a document across the table to Ayla-ah “I am offering you the chance to make history.”

Ayla-ah Kim: Looking rather surprised, she opens the document, holding the seal of the Turkish President on it, with the phrase ‘the 14th President of the Turkish Republic Ayla-ah Kim’ written under it. “You don’t even have the votes to take Akşener down, let's not kid ourselves here.”

Devlet Bahçeli: “That is why I am asking to form a coalition, together we end the Akşener Presidency in the Grand National Assembly, and we will vote you in as the new President of the Republic.”

Ayla-ah Kim: Placing the document back on the table, she leans back thinking over the offer, before rising to her feet. “I will consider it Prime Minister, thank you for the offer.” She says reaching her hand out to shake his

Devlet Bahçeli: Smiling, he rises to his feet shaking Ayla-ah’s hand “I look forward to hearing back from.”

Ayla-ah Kim: She starts making her way out of the room, as the doors open she turns back hearing Bahçeli

Devlet Bahçeli: “Just so you know, on the 18th I will be proposing the bill to remove Akşener, you have until then to decide.”

Ayla-ah Kim: She nods, exiting the room…
