Karl Martin Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) [i]Polotsk, Belarus Protectorate[/i] The various independence movements were getting tired. First [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=76001&view=findpost&p=2301849"]Finland told them to hold an election[/url], then Norway-Sweden said that there needed to be in internal PEPTO vote on whether there should be a referendum with Belarus on whether the protectorate should be independent. After waiting for nearly a month, the people had had enough. There would be a referendum, and it should force the PEPTO and the Slavic Federation to decide what they would be doing with the Protectorate. *Messages to the World* Belarus has wished for independence, but the slow workings of PEPTO has been a strain on the patience of the people. With this, we have started a referendum for independence. Any nations are invited to send observers to see if there has been no unfair acts done. OOC: This has nothing to do with the Red Orchestra or the now-dead Karl Martin. I hope that this will be taken into consideration when voting, and that people vote fairly. Thanks.

Uberstein Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) The 4th Airborne, having not yet withdrawn due to continued police actions and aid distribution, has been ordered to keep the peace, with force if necessary, in the protectorate. Civilians are not to be on the streets after 10:00pm. The majority of forces are stationed in the ex-capital of the Slavic Union. "This movement does not speak for the people of Belrus as far as we can tell at the moment. Talks will begin with the Slavic Federation to see if we can extend the deadline for deployed-force-equalization so that we can ensure that this radical movement does not take place."

Justinian the Mighty Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Even though still embroiled in a bloody civil war the Slavorussian Government releases it’s first public statement in months: It has been the stance of this government for some time that Belarus, and to a lesser extent the Ukrainian provinces should belong to the Slavorussian crown. We have seen fit not to intervene in the endeavors of self-determination and nationalism of the Belorussian and Ukrainian people thus far and shall continue do to so unless the wishes of the people shift. We hope the Slavic Federation and PEPTO will expedite the process of creating an independent Belorussian/Ukrainian State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatose Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 "We believe Belarus has the right to independence just like any other nation in the world. Therefore, we will support the Belarussian independence movement not out of spite but for principle, alone" - Alec Pradeux SIC: The Slavic Federation will begin the immediate deployment of two full divisions to Belarus. These divisions will be deployed from Greater Dalmatia. These will be there to ensure the continued peace and stability in the Slavic Federation's district of operations.

Kaiser Martens Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Germany places a nominal amount of troops by the border, to make sure that nothing spills, but does not get involved. "What we hope is for the Belarussians to be able to fulfill their wishes. Regretfully, it is not clear what these are. We ask for moderation to all parties. Police repression, although important and needed in nature, may set cause an explosion of violence." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malatose Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 "Who are you to classify this movement as a form of extreme radicalism? The people of Belarus have grown tired of PEPTO's slow movement towards a decisive decision, regarding their future as a nation and a unified people, as have we. Therefore, we'd be willing to meet with the leaders of the independence movement in the Slavic Federation to discuss a clear course of action for the future."

Karl Martin Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 The independence movements were wondering why there was a heightening in security, but then realized that the actual voting had not started. They hurriedly made the papers and started the process. OOC: I forgot to add in the poll. It's up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaede Alexeivich Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 The Isara Alliance agrees with the Slavic Federation. The people of Belarus desire independence. PEPTO took much too long to decide on Belarus's independence. The will of the people is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malatose Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 "Yes, a joint protectorate, indeed.

Il Terra Di Agea Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) "We feel that this new independence front, should it be able to gain the support of the majority of the peoples of Belarus, should not be ignored. Should this new government gain the support of the people it seeks to rule, we see no problem in their ruling. HOWEVER, we are highly disturbed by the lack of patience shown by this faction. A mere five days in hardly a long wait, and as PEPTO holds our use of a voting system in high regard, we, as a member state are unhappy to see it mocked. Also, we feel that you can hardly claim to be a fully democratic movement if you have no patience for Democracy. Keep in mind that this will be taken into account in our support of your nation, should you be voted into power."

Karl Martin Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Message from the Belarus Referendum Committee. "Before more words are exchanged, we wish to say this: We have never undnerstood why PEPTO is in Belarus in the first place, for the Slavic Union formed from the territories that are supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the forming nations of the Slavic Federation. Setting that aside, we wish that PEPTO would have a consistent policy. Telling to have a election, then clarify it as a referendum, and then starting an internal vote all of a sudden is not something a logical groupd should be doing. We hope that PEPTO will follow its mandate and work for true peace of Europe, instead of letting imperialist countries declare war without any consequences from the other membership."

Malatose Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 "If the independence movement does not gain support, then so be it. If the independence gains the full support of the people, then they will be able to declare indepedence in the Slavic Federation's geographic jurisdiction. We cannot deny the will of the people."
