Massive Deportation [ATTN: Italy, O.E.]

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

Emperor Peter announced today that there would be a massive deportation of Muslims, Arabs and Islamic followers to the states of the Ottoman Empire and Italian occupied Libya, who have high concentrations of Muslim, Arabic and Islamic populations. Peter says that as a now catholic country the nation is to band together and fight off the "non-believers and non-followers of Christ."

Those who wish to stay are being forced to renounce their faith. Several Catholic bishops, being supported by the 1st Infantry Division if any resisters who do not renounce their faith stay, are travelling to Bosnia to start the first deportations.

The Supreme Chancellor of Internal Affairs, Supreme Chancellor Sava Marko, had this to say about the deportations:

"It is only right in the course of human events that the faith of Christ be incorporated into our newly founded government. Muslims, Arabs, and Islamic Followers have long paid for their dues and must now pay for the crimes they have commited against Jesus Christ, our savior."

All of the deportees will be given the estimated value of all their goods in Slavic credits and will be able to carry as many goods as they can.

[Eternal State of Ottoman]

This is a disgusting act. It is out right racism! Refugees are welcome in the Ottoman Empire. They will be give food and freedom from oppression. They will be free to practice their religion without persecution. They will no longer be oppressed. The "holy" empire of Slavia is condemned by the Ottoman empire as an oppressor and warmongering blight on this beautiful world.

[Federal Republic of Slavia]

Slavia has no comment on the Ottoman response and continues to deport Muslims, Arabs and Islamic followers from Bosnia. In total, Slavia estimates roughly 450,000 Muslims are being deported and roughly 50,000 have renounced their faith.

[Koninkrijk België [Belgium]]

Belgium, though an ally of the Holy Empire, as well as a devout Catholic nation frowns upon the expulsion of the moslem people from their homelands. The Crown, however, provides no comment on the situation.

[The USSR [Soviet Union]]

The multi-ethnic Soviet Union denounces the Slavian act, and is accepting refugees and deportees of Slavic oppression.
