State of Tiburia
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Public Statement
Propontis, 22 October 2019
To Whom it May Concern,
The State of Tiburia is not an "occupier" of Philistaea but its legitimate sovereign owner. Philistaea is not "the Jewish homeland", but the homeland of a whole host of different groups; to reduce it to the fief a single group is completely inappropriate. The members of these groups are Tiburian citizens and have rights which cannot and will not be negated by foreign bodies.
Tiburia has not "diplomatically provoked" any "legitimate religious pilgrimage". We have not tailored any policy to incur the condemnation of so-called "liberal democracies". We have summoned the ambassador of Pohjanmaa in Propontis to explain these statements. Unless we receive a full apology therefor and a retraction thereof, we will be forced to recall our ambassador from Pohjanmaa and expell that of Pohjanmaa.
We cannot and will not engage in diplomacy with countries that question our fundamental sovereignty over out own territory in favour of foreign non-state actors.
Signed and sealed,
Petros K. Lazarides
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Government of Tiburia

Dear Mister Petros K. Lazarides,
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Tiburian State
The Ulkoministeriö has been requested by your government to explain and elaborate the recent condemnation of your diplomacy by our Parliament, the Eduskunta. It is not our official government policy that the Tiburian State stands as what your foreign ministry has defined as “occupier” of the Philistaea region; however, it is custodian of this region and as such certain responsibilities come along with this fact.
It is not the belief of the inhabitants of Pohjanmaa that the “birthright” or “homeland” should be in question. Homelands are not exclusive as your message has indicated, and the Jewish people have a right to this region as their homeland as much as any other group. Despite this, the efforts of the Nedernesian Jewish Congress were singled out by the Tiburian State as potentially hostile and has spurred this minor crisis.
Acknowledging the criticism of protests, and the clear indication that individuals who may hold different political opinions than that of the Government of the Tiburian State, it is clear that this is a mild form of religious persecution when the threat to revoke visas based upon religious or political belief is held before those involved in Jewish Congresses around the world. This is an affront to liberal democracies, and the mocking “so-called” attached to Mr. Lazarides shows clear distain for the beliefs of freedom and liberty.
Yestäväallisesti,
