Grand Kuzhe Irek Mameshur, a controversial Kyrzbekistani Akhadic cleric, has issued a rare recorded statement, calling for unity in defense of Akhadic faith and warning non-Akhadic governments to not interfer in the internal affairs of the Akhadic community. Mameshur, whose whereabouts are unknown, but some intelligence sources claim that he could be living somewhere in Northern Ustyara, is a controversial and divisive spiritual and religious figure.

Once considered a moderate Akhadic theologian, Mameshur is considered one of the known youngest people to be granted the religious title of Grand Kuzhe at an earliest age, 36, only five years after he was appointed Kuzhe of Tabul, eastern Kyrzbekistan. In 1559, he was arrested by the Arberian authorities, to be released in early 1561, when Akhadist forces took several provinces in eastern Kyrzbekistan. This experience is believed to have moved him toward more conservative ideas. Although he supported the short-lived Akhadic Republic of Kyrzbekistan (1562-1568), he did not play an active political role those years, rather dedicated to theological research. After the civil war ended in his country, he denounced the secular policies of the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan, and he was arrested in 1570, for alleged extremist preaching. This is believed to have further radicalized him both politically and religiously. In late 1571, he was sentenced to prison for incitation to violence and apology of terrorist activity, and remained in prison until 1578. He left the country shortly after being released, and after a polemical exchange of opinions with other Akhadic theologians, in which Mameshur denounced the Akhadic Society as "a westernized organization" and called for a more authentic Akhadic lifestyle, he suddenly disappeared. In recent years, he has controversially approved on theological grounds the potential murder of Kyrzbekistani politicians such as Governor Domika Kongoli and members of the armed forces, Carpathian citizens, and Ga'bathi and Zargistani leaders.

In his recorded message, he warned Angiris about intervening in Dogukaran [an historical name for East Galasia, rarely used nowadays] which would be, he warned, "a historical mistake, which Angirisian citizens could pay for years...even generations", and an "unlawful act...a declaration of war against the Akhadic community". He called the Akhadic believers to remain together, both in eastern Galasia and anywhere in the world, showing unity and bravery in the defense of the Akhadic faith. He predicted that Cathedrium and Westmarch "will be burned to the ground" and Angirisian leaders "turned into dry ash" if the Angirisian government decided to follow its announced plans of attacking Akhadic forces in New Galasia.

He also announced that the had granted Makhur Izkhan, a Rojadavi Akhadic cleric from southeastern Eastmarch, the title of "Derebeyi bal-Sadik", an honorary religious title granted to Akhadic scholars, considered the previous step for being a candidate as Grand Kuzhe. Since 1579, when Grand Kuzhe Rîsep Gûndî was murdered in Eastmarch, which sparked the revolutionary movement which started the Galasian civil war, there has not been an officially recognized Grand Kuzhe in New Galasia, and therefore elevating Izkhan as the most important spiritual and religious scholar of the country. However, Izkhan, an ultra-conservative scholar who has denounced elections and secularism as "un-Akhadic" may be a divisive figure. It can't be a surprise that Mameshur's declaration was positively recognized by the Akhadic Council of Nova Tairal, only elevan days after the message was broadcast in social media, while Rojadavi representatives have not given any official response to it.

Grand Kuzhe Irek Mameshur ended his message with critical mentions to the Akhadic Society declaring that "anti-Akhadic campaigns in Bat'an lands" (a reference to Strathae) prove that "cooperation and coexistence between Northern lifestyles and Akhadic faith...is not possible...even when Akhadic teachings are reduced to un-Akhadic innovation". He also compared Strathaen and Eskkyan politicians with the Raastican zealots, in reference to the ancient and extinct Near East religion, which followed lynched to death Akhadic prophet Jorchek, causing the invasion of the Kingdom of Ashar by the Umirid Empire, afterwards all Raastican believers were either murdered or forced to convert to Akhadism.
