While part of Gharabaghi's election promise, the tests unexpectedly come during his public address.
A'BHEZ, A'SIR - Gharabaghi, president of A'sir, went on record again today in A'sirian state media in support of a renewed push to make good on his election promise to increase its commitments to NETO and normalize relations with its neighbors. In an open press conference in A'bhez, Gharabaghi critizized the socialist regime in Kyrzbekistan for policy failings that have led to continued partisan violence in that country, and called upon other countries - most notable Ga'bath and Severyane - to "do more to convince Kyrzbekistan's governing regime" to accept and implement measures to find a peaceful resolution to violence in the country.
One such measure the President clearly referenced was the Severyane-brokered deal Gharabaghi attempted almost four years ago, in which A'sir would recognize what it deems as "the Socialist rebels" that currently control the vast majority of the country as Kyrzbekistan's legitimate government, normalizing relations in exchange for Kyrzbekistan's good-faith involvement in peace talks with A'sirian-backed the Akhadic rebels from the two countries' mountainous border. The socialist faction in Kyrzbekistan immediately and flatly rejected the deal back then, citing that A'sir "could not possibly operate such a deal in good faith," but failed to provide any details or basis for its accusation.
For his part, President Gharabaghi's most recent push to settle A'sir's disputes with its neighbors comes amidst growing impatience with his conservative base, who still view the ruling faction of their southern neighbor as dangerous communist revolutionaries seeking to destroy Akhadic tradition, despite the President's "kind" words regarding socialism some years ago. Gharabaghi's influence and insistence on peace, though still strong, has not been able to put a damper on his government's pushing forward with their promised missile and rocket developments, as final tests begin on an as-yet unnamed new short-range rocket system.
On the order of the A'sirian Revolutionary Guard, tests were scheduled and performed in the highlands to the south of the country facing the border, sending a very clear message of intent to both Gharabaghi and Kyrzbekistan. Likewise, adamant calls from both his supporters within his conservative political alliance and his critics outside his circle to take a more hard-line approach to "dealing with" Kyrzbekistan cast doubt over just how long Gharabaghi can continue to espouse his diplomatic solution, especially as candidates much less favorable to such a solution start gaining sway in the pre-campaign ideological jousting taking place ahead of upcoming elections.
Gharabaghi at least remains defiant and undaunted as he urges a diplomatic solution to "the situation" in his last year as president. "If we continue to allow for only total domination," he warns, " then we can only expect total resentment, and continued killings, as we have seen consistently with [Kyrzbekistan's] Arberian suppression. It's easy to make war; making peace is what takes true skill and courage."
