Selucia makes a new initaitiveAfter hopeful signs form Pontesi the Selucian government wants to find a solution to the Selucian-Pontesi questionYesterday, in response to the approche made by the Selucian-Pontesi colony, the Princeps Senatus, Karl Zeiss, said, that he wishes not war, but a peaceful and longlasting settlement to the question. Although he is still suspicious after many tries. Mr Zeiss made the following statement:
"The government of the Imperium Selucianum wants a peaceful solution. We're welcoming the valuable approches of the Pontesi region and as Selucian government we want to come to the negotiation table as soon as possible. For too long, both sides played with the hopes and aspirations of their peoples and it is now time to act in the interests of all the people.
Hoewever, the government makes the follwing suggestions to be discussed, and as a first step the Selucian government would be ready to accept the independence of a Pontesi state,regardless, that are our wishes:
As a first suggestion: The holding of a great census, to determind the number of Selucian people under a commission which consists 50%/50% of Selucians and other ethnics
1.) Autonomity of region where there is a Selucian majority
2.) Portection of the Selucian culture, languange, lifestyle and various opt out options for the autonomic regions
3.) Recognition of the Selucian Empire as the protection power for all Selucians
4.) Protection of Seucians from persecutions and racism
5.) Selucian quota in Protectorate politics+ public service
6.) Allow Selucians to have deep connections with the Empire (military service)
7.)The persecution of the criminal offences and a official statement of excuse to all Selucians in the Pontesi region.
8.) Dissolution and persecution of the IML (Selucia will assist)
On the other hand the government is ready to do the following:1.)Building up of friendly relationships
2.) Recognitation of a Pontesi state
I hope, that the Pontesi regional authority understands that this is a step which is heavily discussed within the KLP and Selucia, but sometimes a politican must decide on his conscience and not on the polls. We offer Pontesi our hand to negotiations and I personally hope, that they will not waste the oppotunity and begin negotiations with us.
Selucia will offer the place for negotiations and is open." so Mr Zeiss in the press conference.
