Foreign Office condemns attempted coup in Deltaria; calls for restraint from all sides.
October 5630



Fort William - Following reports from Deltarian media that rogue military forces of the Deltarian Armed Forces had attempted to force a change of governance through force, the Luthorian Foreign Office had released a small statement "..encouraging all sides to come to a peaceful solution..", as fears appeared about Deltaria's possible collapse in the next years. After relative silence from Luthori and the international community, the Luthorian Foreign Office has followed its previous statement on the question with a more sharp and intense condemnation of the attempted coup d'état.

Foreign office officials stated to the Evening Post that "...the attempted coup comes at a great risk of disturbing Deltaria's governance..." and that the Luthorian Government had "...as of now, no confidence at all at Deltarian official statement that 'order had been restored in the capital'...". A Foreign Office spokesperson stated that Luthori "...was carefully monitoring the situation..." and had already notified the Commonwealth of the "...impending worrying situation in the Augustan Empire of Deltaria..." and has advised the tenure of an emergency meeting of the Commonwealth's heads of governments to deal with the threat.

While Fort William has been cautious with this statement, the Luthorian Government could hide its contempt for Deltarian absolutist rule, with the Foreign Secretary himself stating to his entourage that the Deltarian situation "...was a powerdkeg claiming to be a giant, but whose artificial national sentiment around its monarch will surely doom...", in the Foreign Office, while passing short of condemning the Deltarian Government, some Foreign Office officials came to our newspaper stating that "...Deltarian autocracy will bring the southern half of Majatra into chaos, if allowed to continue ruling as if nothing happened...". State Secretary for Majatra denied allegations that Luthori would be planning on sanctionning the Deltarian regime stating that "...a continuation of the pre-coup diplomatic relations..." was the favourable outcome favoured here in Fort William.

The Prime Minister's Office only hinted towards a mild condemnation of the coup attempt and a hope towards a "restoration of an effective stable situation" in the nation. Meanwhile, faced with the deteriorating security situation in the nation, Bismarck Palace has indicated withdrawing 25 % of Luthorian consulate staffs operating in Deltaria. The Government also proceeded to announce that travels from Luthori to Deltaria would be, until further announcement, discouraged by the Foreign Office under the principle of the "Orange Protocols", a ranked list of nations deemed "unsafe" for the average Luthorian. Deltaria was among the lowest ranked in the list, due to its relative stability, but the Government raised the alert to the minimum "Level 4", in which the Foreign Office discouraged, but didn't forbid travels between the two countries, it also allowed embassy and consulate staffs to take on, more effectively, demands for repatriation from Luthorians.

In Fort William, tonight, the Government continues to vow for peace in Deltaria, although, anyone can safely ask, will it last?
