After seeing the involvement of the UC, Mesopotamia has finally decided to strike... Prior to their involvement, Mesopotamia, concerned about the war spilling over into their borders, began to recruit people en-masse. All able bodied people between the ages of 20-31 not within an essential job have been recruited into the military to help defend our homeland. Defenses have been built in Kurdistan, with heavy-artillery from previous donations by Azovu, and then Uma, a long with a large line of defense across the plateau with thousands of men guarding it. Now, it is time to strike deep... Mesopotamia would declare war on The New Uma Order to restore democracy within their nation and the will of the people. Considering this came by surprise for the NUO, we'd advance to completely take Lake Urmia and part of Lake Van. Defenses would be constructed across the currently occupied zone, thousands of troops would be moved to the front lines to hold the lakes, and the other borders with the NUO, artillery would be moved from a long the coast from previous Cypriot wars towards the front lines and borders, bunkers would be quickly erected throughout the span of our current occupation as well. In compliance with our agreement with the Uma Partyzan, all territory currently occupied by us would be returned after the wars conclusion in exchange for Gaza.
