STATEMENT OF THE *GOVERNMENT OF GALYSVA *Foreign Affairs of the Legal and Internationally Recognized Galysva The Government of Galysva condemns the decision by the Federal Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs to label Galysva as an "Extremist Government" and to try to isolate our nation and freely impose a Soviet Federal presence directly inside Galysva. The Government of Galysva rejects the Soviet designation of our nation as an "Extremist Government” and the unrecognized state of Galysva. Galysva does not deny that financial assistance was provided to Taikavian organizations. This assistance was provided openly and publicly because Galysva does not recognize the Soviet view of the Taikavian people as “terrorists.” For so long, the people of Taikavia have endured conflict, blockade, and deprivation of their right to food and clean water. Galysva maintains our stance that support for a people seeking self-determination is not support for terrorism or violence. We also note the hypocrisy of the Soviet government. The Soviet state itself provided support, weapons, and assistance to armed groups operating within sovereign states when it has suited Soviet interests. This is a reference to the conflict in South Zamunda. You hide behind a shield of loophole and lies and deniability but if investigated the truth will be found. The Soviet state cannot claim that our Galysvan support for a nation fighting to maintain its sovereignty is extremism while engaging in the same conduct, and more, elsewhere. The Soviet government's threats of intervention, blockade, and coercion represent a dangerous escalation that threatens regional stability. In simple terms, the Soviet Congress will authorize military intervention in Galysva if deemed necessary. All of our actions, including restrictions that only pose a minor inconvenience to Soviet livelihood in Galysva and our financial support to Taikavia were only in the interests of freedom for legitimate bodies. Galysva will continue to defend its sovereignty. We will continue in diplomatic negotiations, but we will not accept accusations designed to silence and undermine our legitimate stance as a sovereign nation. We protest against the illegal Soviet invasion and starvation of Taikavia, the Soviet labeling and recognition of Galysva as an “Extremist Government.”
