Premier Al-Khali addressed Lourenne's accusations of Intervention in Statrica
"These claims are fundamentally baseless. There are no Kalistani Regulars in Statrica," Premier of the Republic Abdulaziz Al-Khali declared before a meeting of the National Press Corps Thursday,in response to Lourenne's claims that they have encountered Kalistani troops in their imperialist war on a helpless people. "We have not ordered any deployments of any of the three branches of the Regular Force, to Dovani or any other place, except the Anantonese Ocean, where our ships are patrolling against Lourenne's illegal attempts to interdict our shipping on the high seas. These cynical deviants really know no shame."
To support his claims of non-Intervention, the Premier produced a the official Air Force Flight Log, which he intended to provide to members of the National Assembly. "Look: If there is some sort of activity in this log from the past two months which suggests that Regular Military played a role in any way of deploying, emplacing, or resupplying Kalistani Regular Military in Statrica, Dovani, or non-Kalistani Seleya, for that matter, I expect the Opposition to find the log entry and make it public. If we see anything from the Last two months which suggests any such troop movement, I will resign. But you will find no such thing in this log or any other log. Because intervention by Kalistani Regulars without authorization by the National Assembly is expressly illegal."
When asked by The Republic about the story reprinted from IZQUIERDA about the Militia's training regime, the Premier was similarly defiant: "I have it on good authority that this unit is still currently in the field. If you're so concerned about the Militia, Comrades, perhaps you should go visit them. They are in CATC right now still shooting with the Regulars and the Navy." The Premier's statement was easy confirmed by this reporter following the Press Conference. It was confirmed by Captain Gregory Criswell, Batallion Commander, 3rd Battalion, Ananto Regiment. who confirmed that indeed, the Sierra Battery was still deployed to CATC, and were currently doing joint ops with units of the Regular Artillery.
Other questions asked by reporters:
"Is William P. Bennots in Vanuku, and is he there to repair relations between Kalistan and Vanuku?"
"We know that Bennots is there. He is not a representative of the Government, and is currently serving with Suldanor ODEN. As far as we know, the reports of his vacationing in Vanuku are accurate. But it is not a crime to travel to Vanuku, nor is it a crime for Vanukeans to travel here and do business here. If we had better relations with that Kingdom, it wouldn't be such a bad thing. But we are hesitant to open up official relations with Vanuku. That may change someday. But not today."
"How are the discussions around the Non-Aligned Movement going?"
"They are on track. We have slowed down a bit, following the change of government in Selucia, but we are all working very hard to come up with a comprehensive Treaty which will allow us to stand apart from the worlds great powers. It is very encouraging."
"The Former President, Ana Barajas has been retired for more than a year now, and yet she appears to have dropped off the face of the planet. Is there any updates on her current projects?"
"The President was always a quiet person. It is my understanding that she is writing a book. I'm sure we have not heard the last of Barajas."
"How will Kalistan respond to Valruzia's joining Lourenne's anti-ODEN crusade?"
"As we speak, our Government is drawing up contingency plans to nationalize Valruzian investments in Kalistan if they announce an official embargo to Kalistani trade. We have our eyes set particularly on VEMI-K. If we do nationalize, it will be with compensation. However, we will pay the compensation with the sale of the company to Kalistani investors. The Government of Kalistan will not get into the record making business."
"Who is headlining the Jam this in 4430?"
"You'll have to ask [ODEN Director Georgia] Tass: That's her thing. I'm still waiting for my invite. Ahhhhheeeeemmmmmmmmmmmm..."
