7 June 5660



Morning after the coup d'état in the geographically close to Bianjie nation of Vascania, the ministers of defence and foreign affairs, Ajige Barra and Chuoqui Nioyan, respectively, alongside the nation's head of government, Premier Abatai Soca, held a joint press conference in the MOFA's press conference room in Gemun.

Premier Soca began the press conference by unanimously condemning the suspension and dissolution of the Vascanian democratic institutions, calling it "illegal and alarming", urging the military, led by Prime Minister Vikas, to "return to normalcy", and resolve the issue by talking to the democratically elected opposition representatives and leaders. "We think it would be much more productive for the Vascanian government to cooperate with politicians across the aisle, instead of unwarrantedly painting them as 'sympathisers of the Xsampan plague".

Foreign minister Nioyan said her office is in close cooperation and contact with Xsampan counterparts, coordinating joint response and efforts to either sanction or bring more attention to the evolving situation in Sovereign Sea. At the same time, minister Nioyan has called all Bianjie citizens currently residing or located on Vascnian territory to leave the nation as soon as possible, with MOFA assisting the compatriots, if required. "We are unable to ensure the safety of our citizens in a place that is currently uncontrollable and unstable, hence why we are calling everyone to leave. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will help all fellow Bianjians no matter what", said the foreign minister Chuoqui Nioyan.

Ajige Barra, the defence minister, said that the Armed Forces have been alarmed and have begun preparations for all kinds of scenarios that may occur sooner or later. Barra confirmed that, similarly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MOD has been in close contact with its Xsampan counterpart, discussing current and future actions, and whether there must be patrolling in the Sovereign Sea: "It is important to mention that we are not looking to escalate the already tense situation even further, but at the same time, one must understand that such an unprecedented event requires our full attention and certainty in being able to defend ourselves no matter what."
