Rodshyadam Today: FM Sokolova confirms no SC bid, announces Kerisian air patrol resume
January 5192

The Bashyna, Radin Oblast - Foreign Minister Sonya Sokolova announced that Trigunia would not stand for the Security Council Seat covering their geographic area. "Being shackled by the World Congress' Security Council is a sham to begin with. While we respect the world that the World Congress does, the Security Council has proven time and time again to be an interventionist tool in order to further to agenda of a few over the promises of the many. Trigunia has decided that its multilateral approach towards foreign affairs is the best approach, we do not need to sit on the Security Council to ensure that the world is peaceful, stable and other nations respect a nation sovereignty." Sokolova was also asked about the recent Deltarian boycott of Trigunian products and she chuckled. "It's ironic, the Deltarian's are our Delic brothers and they are siding with those who would view them as inferior. It is also further ironic that nearly everything that the Deltarian military has is a copy of its Trigunian counter-part, notably worse counter-part but it is something that should not be forgotten." The Foreign Minister noted that the North Dovani had approved numerous aid packages from Trigunia and the Foreign Minister spoke at length about the "threats" of pro-Imperialist powers such as Dorvik who issued a "Red Line" for North Dovani. "While I can appreciate the warmongering from the Dorvish, not surprising at all, I think that the constant disrespect of a nations sovereign right to chose its own affairs is incredibly dangerous and a terrible precedent to set."

In the same speech at the The Bashnya, representatives from the Ministry of Defense confirmed that the Trigunian Aerospace Forces had resumed air patrols around Keris. Captain Radoslav Sharonov of the Trigunian Aerospace Forces confirmed that the Trigunians had resumed regular air patrols of Keris in addition to conducting sea trials with the Petrovgrad, the Yegorovich-class aircraft carrier and several other naval vessels. The Captain also confirmed that the Rodshyadam-class aircraft carrier, most similar to the Dorvish Kaiser-class aircraft carrier had been drydocked and was being retrofitted. "We have but no choice to begin a retrofit of the Rodshydam in the wake of such aggression from various actors around the world."

Protests against North Dovani activities prompt National Guard activation
August (Late), 5193

The Bashnya, Rodshyadam, Radin Oblast - As one of the first public, foreign affairs ventures of Trigunia's recent history the affairs in North Dovani did not bode well with a segment of the Trigunian population. The recent announcement that defections within the North Dovani military prompted some Trigunian's to take to the streets to protest their governments involvement in the North Dovani crisis. At first the protests were limited to a handful of people protesting outside The Bashnya or the North Dovani embassy however after several days of organizing on Together! (Rodshyan: Вместе!; tr. Vmeste!), a Trigunian social media platform, the protests and rallies expanded to several thousand Trigunians across the country and in many locations. The Ministry of Internal Affairs increased police activity towards the protest and it was reported that the Federal Security Service was present at several of these rallies; heavily armed riot police were on standby and by the fourth day of the rallies the government in The Bashnya had enough. President Vlasov ordered the first activation of the National Guard of Trigunia. The National Guard of Trigunia replaced the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a period of Trigunian history when the Trigunian's central government was attempting to appear more "democratic" but the National Guard answers solely to the President where the former Internal Troops (VV) answered to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in theory, the State Duma which could "manage" them should issues arise.

President Vlasov ordered the National Guard to be reformed when he was elected to the Presidency of the Trigunian Federation however he promised they would only be "activated" on a temporary basis when necessary. President Vlasov decided the protest were enough to warrant the activation of the National Guard for "...the foreseeable future." according to the Presidential Decree activating them. The National Guard mobilized and deploy on the seventh day of protests and were heavy-handed in certain situations but otherwise the protests continued without violence or issue. Protests near The Bashyna, lead by dissident former State Duma Deputy Ignatiy Nikolayevich Shursha, the National Guard responded with a series of heavy-handed actions that prompted the arrest of 300 people including Shursha and protest organizer Zigfrids Azhikelyamov. The Ministry of Science and Technology requested that their accounts on the popular Together! social media sites be suspended but the site refused and the State Communications Service did not return comment after questions by the Trigunian foreign press or domestic news agencies.

BREAKING NEWS: President Maskhadov confirms historical name change!
October 5195

Chelyakan, Vlozen Republic - Vakhita Maskhadov, President of the Abreken Republic, confirmed today that he had spoken to President Vlasov and the President has granted him authority to rename the Abreken Republic to the Vlozen Republic. The Ministry of Education and Culture of the Abreken Republic started a commission several years ago and brought together prominent Ahmadi scholars, Vlozen historians and some Trigunian historians and they collectively recommended to the President of the semi-autonomous Abreken Republic that the region should be re-named to the historical "Vlozneya" and the republic should be re-named the "Vlozen Republic". The recommendation was promptly accepted and President Maskhadov spoke with President Vlasov and he agreed with the move. In a crowd assembled in the Vlozen capital of Chelyakan, Khandzhik Oblast, they celebrated the historical change that has been in the works since October, 5029 when the former Abreken Autonomous Socialist Republic pushed for the move but ultimately failed when the Communist Party of Trigunian collapsed. President Vlasov is expected to take a visit to the newly renamed Vlozen Republic and meet with officials from the region, notably officials responsible for the oil and gas extraction areas that dominant the region where little else does.

BREAKING NEWS: Explosion rocks Abadi mosque; 17 dead, 100 injured. National Guard puts down open melee.
February 5196

Chelyakan, Vlozen Republic - Behind closed doors in The Bashnya, there is a sense of unease as in the capital of the recently reformed Vlozen Republic, a car bomb exploded outside a prominent Abadi mosque killing nearly 17 people and injuring 100 more. The National Guard of Trigunia, members of the Federal Security Bureau and the Trigunian Police responded to reports of an explosion at 1:03PM just after the call to prayer for the afternoon. The alleged fears coming from The Bashnya are afraid that anti-government terrorist could be attempting to provoke the already fragile peace between The Bashnya and the semi-autonomous republic in Chelyakan. Ahmadi terrorism has always been a fear of Trigunians who have one of Keris' largest Ahmadi population and throughout the nations history have had several issues with the Ahmadi population in Trigunia. Ahmadi's began appearing in large amounts following the hiring of Majatran mercenaries and privateers during the conflicts of Trigunia in the late 18th century and early 19th century when Trigunia was involved in a number of conflicts. The mercenaries were lead by a fierce warlord, Khairi el-Azam, and eventually he returned to settle in Chelyakan following his service he adopted the Trigunian name Khairi Elazamov and with his warriors founded a significant community of Ahmadi Trigunians in central Lesnov.

The vast majority of Ahmadi's in Trigunia are Israist with a minority being Abadi. Several of the prominent leaders of the new Vlozen Republic, including those who were involved in the historical commission were Abadi and that has stoked some tensions between the two religious groups. Imam Patarz Alxanov, the leader of the mosque where the attack took place called for calm and understanding, this was done in an attempt to avoid further violence and Abadi's gathered outside the mosque to mourn the loss of friends, family and religious members. A group of Israist joined them and were harassed by other Israist who take a more hardline stance towards the religious divide. The harassment broke down into physical fighting just as the National Guard arrived and brutally put down the open melee. Interior Troops from the Vlozen Republic's Ministry of Internal Affairs assisted the National Guard and President Vakhita Maskhadov condemned the attack in a joint speech with Trigunian President Vlasov.

FM Sokolova cautions Dankuk about its path.
October 5198

The Bashnya, Rodshyadam, Radin Oblast - Foreign Minister Sonya Sokolova cautioned Dankuk to re-define what it is doing within its nation. "It would appear to an outside observer that the situation developing in Dankuk is a grave human rights violation. While we do not support the current Security Council's desire to halt all trade and economic activity with Dankuk, we caution Dankuk in its current stances towards non-Kyo citizens." The Foreign Minister spoke at length about the activities in Dankuk and how they might be perceived, she noted that should the situation be proven to be an attempt genocide or working towards that Trigunia would have no option but to "intervene". The Foreign Minister cited a recent article in which Kalistan offered to discuss handling emigration from Dankuk for non-Kyo persons. "This has the hallmarks of growing into a situation where Trigunia is forced to act, especially with something so close to our borders. Trigunia is for human rights and the rights for one to exist where they chose. If the government in Dankuk is not careful they will draw the ire of the world, the World Congress and will be forced to face the facts of regime change that many governments have had to face before at the hands of those opposed to their efforts. We will provide support for the Dankuk government but only as far as the government assures human rights abuses are not actively ongoing."

President Vlasov arrives in Chinasa, chides World Congress
March, 5199

Chinasa, North Dovani - The Trigunian Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed that President Makar Vlasov, Prime Minister Ludmil Frolov, Foreign Affairs Minister Sonya Sokolova, and Trade, Industry and Economic Development Minister Kuzma Ivanov arrived in the North Dovani capital of Chinasa today. The high-level state visit comes on the heels of the recent news that North Dovani will not be cooperating with the World Congress Mission in North Dovani related to the allegations of war crimes during the North Dovani civil war recently. President Vlasov, a staunch supporter of North Dovani, condemned the move by the World Congress for failing to consult with North Dovani regarding the situation. "The World Congress continues to act as if it can violate sovereignty anywhere it chooses. The Security Council, while it serves a purpose, requires cooperation from governments." Opponents of Trigunia were quickly to strike down the Trigunian President and state that his words were false and that they did not paint an accurate picture of the World Congress or the World Congress' mandate that it had through its foundational charter. The state visit to Chinasa is expected to last several days and it is apparent that Trigunia has made a hard pivot towards supporting North Dovani and developing ties with the wider North Dovani community.

Foreign Minister Sonya Sokolova is expected to skip the trip back to Rodshydam and make a visit to Utari Mosir, notably the eastern portion of the country where the Kepi people, who claim themselves to be linked or "ethnically" Trigunia, have developed a strong basis of support and have slowly clawed back significant rights after decades of being repressed by the Kunihito people. Trigunia has generally maintained a "hands off" approach to their former colony that was founded in the city of Abakiye once known as Novy Rodshyadam. Deputy Prime Minister of Economic Development is expected to visit Abakiye to discuss the opening of a natural gas and oil terminal in Abakyie which would be among the first in the Sea of Carina that is not owned by Ostland, which has often dominated the Dovani continent for oil, gas and petroleum-based product production.

BREAKING: Neftkomp to reduce oil production
Late edition | October 5199

Deputy Prime Minister for Natural Resources and Energy Nazar Trokhymovych Marchenko announced that Neftkomp would be slightly scaling back production in the coming months. Critics of the move cite the recent rise in Bier Qassem Crude from roughly $73 LOD to $87 LOD over the course of the past several decades. When questioned by reporters at the press conference announcing the decision, the Deputy Prime Minister cited "...operational concerns." When the Deputy Prime Minister was questioned on what that meant he ended the press conference. Engineers for Neftkomp who were present explained that the recent decline in oil and gas production for places such as Badara, Vascania and Jakania have prompted a huge increase in demand for Neftkomp and Trigunian-owned oil and gas producers around the world. Korney Aleskeevich Teplov, Chief Engineering Officer for Neftkomp, stated that production had been increased notably in Dovani in places such as North Dovani and Ostland. "There have been discussions with North Dovani to assist in the development of state-of-the-art facilities and new pipelines to enhance the transportation of oil and gas. We've also invested heavily in a new oil and gas terminal in Utari Mosir which we believe, when completed, will push the prices of oil and gas down but in reality, we have to do whats safe for our workers and our facilities."

Neftkomp officials have not returned comment following the press conference and the announcement but the decision for Trigunia to slow down production will certainly cause a rise in gas prices around the globe. Trigunia overtook Badara and Kafuristan for the number 1 spot only a year ago and the nation holds massive sway in the prices of oil and gas around the world. OPEN, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Nations, recently elected a new Secretary-General, former Neftkomp Chief Financial Officer, Nil Mikhailovich Ryabkov who departed Neftkomp to serve as the Secretary-General based out of Bier Qassem, Badara. Ryabkov and now serves on the board of Neftkomp and has announced an expansion of OPEN's Trigunia and Vascania-based headquarters as a means to expand the organizations reach. Ryabkov also formally welcomed Solentia and Dorvik as observer members in the organization.

Rodshyadam Today: Trigunia, North Dovani and Utari Mosir cooperate on new pipeline into Utari Mosir
June, 5200

Utari Mosir and North Dovani - Neftkomp CEO Semyon Ivanovich Losevsky confirmed that Utari Mosir, North Dovani and Trigunia had agreed to the creation of a new pipeline from North Dovani to Utari Mosir. The pipeline will run from North Dovani to the new oil and gas terminal that is being constructed in Abakyie, the eastern "capital" of Utari Mosir and the ethnic capital of the Kepo people. Representatives from the new government in Utari Mosir met with officials from North Dovani and Trigunia to announce their cooperation for the new pipeline. The new pipeline will provide transportation for gas and oil in a dual pipeline structure. Neftkomp announced that they would be forming a new subsidiary Carina Sea Gas Corporation (Rodshyan: Карина Морская Газовая Корпорация; tr. Karina Morskaya Gazovaya Korporatsiya) which is being referred to as "Kamogaz" in Trigunia media circles, as the company charged with managing the new gas terminal and the Trigunian portion of the pipeline. The Trigunian Ambassador to Utari Mosir Yevdokim Romanovich Maryin welcomed the cooperation and stated that the new cooperation between Trigunia, North Dovani and Utari Mosir was the basis for a "...substantial change to the economic and foreign policy indicators for all nations."
