Ayduramazan, Kyrzbekistan | A high level Kyrzbekistani diplomat has been rejected as Ambassador in Goldecia because her past inclusion in a terrorist list by the Kingdom of Arbëria.

The decision by Goldecian government has caused outrage and criticism in the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs in Ayduramazan, sources claim.

Mavzida Läkuz had been appointed to serve as ambassador in Goldecia by the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan. She had previously served as diplomat in Soyabar in 1569-1570, and ambassador in Adwest between 1570 and 1578. In the last two years she was serving as High Representative for Kvaenna.

Läkuz inclusion dates back to 1556, when she -then a 20-year university student and a militant of the left-wing nationalist Kyrzbek Democratic Party- shot and killed Akil Pagarusha, a former military officer and Governor of Mysëqytet. Pagarusha, a former military officer, was declared "an enemy of the people" by several Kyrzbek insurgent groups by his role in the brutal suppression of a peasant revolt in Northwestern Kyrzbekistan. She was sentenced to 40 years of prison by an Arberian court and her case, in which she allegedly suffered abuse and torture by Arberian policemen, had a strong resonance along the country and the region, although only surfaced recently when Soyabarian media found Läkuz' name in an old article of a Mestran newspaper during Läkuz time as diplomat in Soyabar.

In 1568, during the revolution which would lead to the abolition of the Arberian monarchy and the proclamation of the socialist-leaning Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan, Läkuz was released from prison and her criminal records were officially erased after an amnesty passed by the Kyrzbekistani government. In early 1569, she was elected to the Constituent Assembly as a candidate of the Revolutionary Coalition, but resigned as MP several months later to start a career to diplomat.

Läkuz, likely one of the most well-known diplomats in her home country, has not commented so far about the decision of the Goldecian government. However, Kyrzbekistani media -in special those supportive of the ruling Socialist People's Party and other secular Kyrzbek outlets- has criticized harshly the "stupid" and "reactionary decision" by the Goldecian government, and many have stated that the move is probably caused by the lobbying of the monarchist so-called Arberian government-in-exile, who declares that the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan is an illegitimate state and call for the restoration of the Arberian monarchy. Although the Goldecian government does not recognize that Arberian government-in-exile, many former Arberian emigres and monarchist officials have found assylum in the Kvaennan monarchy.

Experts in the Near East country believe that the decision by the Goldecian government is likely to have a negative impact in Goldecian companies investing in Kyrzbekistan.

Mavzida Läkuz has been described as a "professional" and "hard-working" diplomat by both colleagues and even rival diplomats in Adwest. She received a Honorary Degree by the Federal University of Aydaramazan in 1579. It is rumoured that Läkuz is likely to be appointed as high representative to the NETO -the military alliance formed by several Near East governments- in the coming weeks.
