In a strongly worded statement before a massive crowd gathered at SPoK Headquarters in Kaliburg, the Foreign Minister of Kalistan, Milena Suarez blasted the Trigunian Government for recent moves to restrict civil rights for its LGBT citizens.


FM Suarez blasts Trigunia for Civil Rights violations and Provocations in the Anantanese Ocean

"A restriction in civil rights for one group is a restriction in civil rights for all.  Every free person should be outraged by the systematic persecution of the minority in Trigunia.  Nobody chooses who they love, nobody chooses who they are attracted to.  And civil rights are something which governments should work to expand, not restrict.  Kalistan stands with oppressed minorities in Trigunia and all over the world, and condemns all governments who oppress their own people.  We also call on all people of the world, who support LGBT rights to join us in our condemnation of Trigunia for their regressive policies."

The Foreign Minister followed up the strongly worded censure with a a final break in the old relationship between Kalistan and Trigunia. 

"Trigunia used to be a friend of Kalistan.  It was not a decade ago when we were considering hosting a military base for the Trigunians on Kalistani soil, and presenting them an opportunity to buy into our national petroleum company.  Those days are over-  they ended when they chose to support assassins over Kalistan.  Not only does the Empire stomp on the civil rights of their own people, but they seem bound and determined to provoke us at sea by threatening us on Keris.  Well, let them threaten-  We are finished with the Empire of Trigunia.  It will take a lot of compromise on the part of the Empire of Trigunia before they are ever restored to their former place of preference with Kalistan."
