[Asylan]

The Republic of Aslyan applauds this action as the next step forward for both the Valkanian People and for all Himyarans. This initiative shows Valkany's willingness to work with the international community and assist those who wish to live free lives in a democratic society.

After this moment we cannot see any causus belli imaginable against the people on Valkany or the Eastern Cape. Such aggression would not only be an affront to humanity but to all nation in Europe.

We still wish to emphasize the importance of the Eitlan Conference to settle any and all disputes from this new edict. We would also like to invite our new friends in the Eastern Cape.
