The Current Ottoman Foreign Policy Internal
Outlined by New Foreign Minister Tolan
SHORT TERM GOALS
Resolving Cypriot Question - Northern Cyprus must remain sovereign to the Grand Ottoman Empire (TGOE). Preferably diplomatically, however the Army of the Aegean in on standby to engage hostile EF forces. If conflict arises, TGOE respects the NEUTRALITY of the Grand Republic's airbases on Cyprus, however should they aid the EF these airbases will be upraged to HOSTILE.
IMPORTANCE: LEVEL 5
Becoming a member of the AHA - It is seen as vital that TGOE is accepted into the AHA to form a great bloc. It would provide safety to Ottoman citizens and improve the nation economically.
IMPORTANCE: LEVEL 4
Improving relations with Russia - After a gaffe by former minister Bohan, TGOE is desperate to repair slightly damaged relations with Russia.
IMPORTANCE: LEVEL 4
LONG TERM GOALS
Stemming Greek nationalism - TGOE regards Greek interference in Cyprus to be an act of open hostility. We are keeping a close eye on our neighbours actions in the Mediterranean.
IMPORTANCE: LEVEL 2
Kurdistan (Northern Iraq/Syria) - Kurdish envoys have approached Ottoman ambassadors about seceding. Whilst ideally they would be independent states, they acknowledge that without Ottoman military support any chance to break away will not succeed. Both nations (IRAQ/SYRIA) are beleaguered with civil war and it is not expected that they would resist. Syrian President Assad is now seen to be desperate to end the civil war, and envoys have suggested privately that he will allow Kurdistan to secede to TGOE if they commit ground & air forces in Syria. Iraq is not thought to be so keen, and the past 13 years of war in the country do not suggest that TGOE military intervention would lead to peace. However, if TGOE becomes a member of the AHA, it is thought that the Iraqi government would not be able to resist and even potentially the whole nation could come back under TGOE influence if allowed a degree of political and religious autonomy, resolving the Oil crisis in the Empire.
