Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan ceases to exist

Published: Treizen 1594

In their last congress in Qënderë, the Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan has voted to dissolve and cease to exist in a final 274-22 vote, in a gathering which was felt as much as a final goodbye than a new step toward a new political realigment.

The Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan was considered the largest legal communist party in a Near East Akhadic-majority country. The party was created in 1577, following a split by the Perovist faction inside the ruling Socialist People's Party, after several of the most prominant members of the Perovist faction had either being expelled or left the party, including former Governor of Yartushia Besnik Qosjë and former minister Bashkim Malësh. The Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan continued loyal to a strict Perovist outlook, although with a pragmatist electoral strategy at times, even after the end of communism in Severyane.

The Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan was able to enter to the Kyrzbekistani parliament in the 1581 and 1585 elections, and in 1593 again as a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Coalition, which gathered other far-left and radical forces. The Communist Party obtained its best result in the 1582 state elections, in which their candidates obtained almost 900,000 votes and around 7% of the nationwide vote. However, the party struggled to gain support beyond its own strongholds, in the main cities of the state of Kombash-Kenlyaukya and in the metropolitan area around Bashkimqytet, in eastern Kyrzbekistan, both cases highly Arberian-majority areas. The communists had the peak of their influence at the state level rather than in the national parliament, often trying to push ruling Socialist People's Party toward more radical policies.

Two months ago, the Socialist Revolutionary Coalition -of which the Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan is the main member- voted to start a new political aligment, creating an united political party, which was named Kyrzbekistani Party of Social Justice (PGYK-PDS), with a more moderate outlook and platform. The political platform accepted by the Socialist Revolutionary Coaltion, which is the result of the Communists losing their influence as their membership declined in recent years, combined left-leaning economic policies with a moderate strand of Political Akhadism and federalism. This ideological shift from secular Perovism toward an "Akhadic-populist hybrid", as some commentators described the platform adapted in the last Socialist Revolutionary Coalition, was unthinkable only a few years ago, but the decling electoral results of the coalition, the lost of many voters toward the Arberian Democratic Forum in last state elections, and the election of Kemal Aydarur, the first non-Arberian elected as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kyrzbekistan made it possible.

It is unclear if such ideological shift would be successful or not in the future.

Rojadavistan: Constitutional referendum approved by a majority of voters
By: Anne Michaels
Published: Vintyr, 1594

Thousands celebrated in the street as Rojadavistani voters overwhelmingly endorse the constitution passed by the Second Rojadavistani Constituent Assembly.

According to official results, 69% of Rojadavistani voters supported the constitution proposed by the Rojadavistani parliament, although the turnout was relatively lower than expected, barely over 51% of eligible voters.

The results of the referendum’s vote were announced yesterday evening by election officials in Sermîyan, capital city of the country since 1587. Despite shortcomings registered in several electoral districts, international observers declared that it was a "mostly...free and fair referendum" vote, with a turnout from 30% to 70%, depending the region.

Rojadavistan became an independent state from New Galasia (renamed later as Drazen Republic) after a long and violent civil war. The referendum ends a political impasse, after political parties were unable to agree a new constitutional agreement that replace the Basic Law of Rojadavistan, passed in 1587 as temporary constitutional text. However, the new constitution is not likely to satisfy everyone in the country, and many experts claim that it could even open old wounds and intensify ethnic and religious divisions.

While the vote was met with enthusiasm by Rojadavi voters in Sermîyan and other cities, in more secular towns as Bakûrgûnd and between Rojadavistan’s Galasian minority there is concern that the new constitutional order could marginalize the Messanic minority and weaken the rule of law in the country. Several Galasian and Messanic parties, along secular and left-leaning forces, called against the referendum, either endorsing a no vote or calling for a boycott. It is estimated that in Bakûrgûnd district, only 46% of the population voted yes to the constitutional referendum.

The constitutional proposal was supported by the ruling Social Conservative Party and other Akhadist parties such as the Traditionalist Front and the Akhadic Front of Rojadavistan. Currently, Akhadist and conservatives have a clear majority in the parliament. New legislative elections are expected to be held soon.

The proposed new constitution will rename the Rojadavi Republic (the official name of the country since independence in 1587) as the Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan – a name which in the Galasian minority it is considered divisive. But more controversially, the constitution -which is denounced as “ultra-conservative” and “sectarian” by critics- would declare Akhadism as the official religion, increase the powers of the presidency, establish a bicameral system with an upper house in which ⅓ of their members would be appointed by the government, and establish that Akhadic Setgvek and religious law to be considered “basic of all legislation”.

The constitution would also allow President Serefxane Canê to be president until, at least, 1599. Canê, from the ultra-conservative Social Conservative Party, has been president of the Rojadavi Republic since 1589.

A’Sir became the first government to officially congratulate President Canê for the referendum, although Zargistan, Khanid, and NETO officials reportedly came next.

Kyrzbekistan: Ruling party leads in national election, without a clear winner
By: Ahmet Irekur
Published: Ochtyr, 1597

A poll station in Frasheri, Kyrzbekistan.



Federal election in the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan appears to have given no party a clear majority - probably signaling a period of political instability for Near East's longest democracy in an Akhadic-majority country.

As of today morning local time, the official vote count indicated that the left-wing and secular Socialist People's Party will gain the most seats in the parliament, but likely failing to gain a majority in the Congress People's of Deputies, the Lower House of the Kyrzbekistani parliament.

The Socialist People's Party has been in power since the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan in 1568, with every President and Chairman of the People's Council (head of governments) being a member of the Socialist People's Party. They are expected to have obtained between 178 and 190 seats, which could be their worst result since the 1581 national election, in which the Socialist People's Party only obtained 171 of 399 seats. However, with 40.2% of the vote, the Socialist People's Party remains the largest party with a strong base, even if failed to obtain a majority, against a divided opposition.

The Democratic Social Forum, a secular and moderate political party, mostly supported by Arberian-minority voters, was the second largest party, although only obtaining 17.4% of the vote. The other left-wing parties, such as the Kyrzbek Labour Party and the Kyrzbekistani Party of Social Justice obtained a poor result, unable to obtain the minimum 5% of the vote, and they will only be able to obtain a few seats through direct constituencies, probably increasing the influence of the Arberian political party.

The Kyrzbek National Party, a conservative Akhadist political party affiliated to the Akhadic Society, which had been the second largest political party in the last two national elections, obtained a disappointed result, around 16.8% of the vote, almost ten points less than in the 1593 parliamentary election, mostly as a consequence of the division of the Akhadist parties. The Akhadic Conservative Party, could only secure one seat in the parliament. Meanwhile, Akhadic Renaissance Movement (ANK), a religious political party founded only two years ago, and which is considered even to the right to the Kyrzbek National Party, obtained an unexpected 9.1% of the vote, aspiring to become the fifth largest political party in their first election.

Another surprise was the result obtained by the Kyrzbekistani Democratic Party, previously known as "Kyrzbek Democrats", led by Toktamish Narimanur, which is expected to obtain between 20 and 40 seats. Narimanur was a former Socialist People's Party's ally, and was Governor of the Yartushia state from 1586 to 1594, elected as independent in a coalition government which included a majority of Socialist People's Party members. However, in recent years, Narimanur and the ruling party seem to have parted ways, as Narimarur recently justified in an interview his decision to create his own political party that he feared that President Damir Kazbekur could be on the "path toward an one-single party" if the Socialist People's Party obtained a majority again. However, Narimanur has declared that he's willing to work with every party of the parliament, including the Socialist People's Party.

As a consequence of the division of the parliament, weeks of talks between the parties may now lie ahead. The negotiations as expected to be complicated, as the Socialist People's Party may find difficult to form either a national coalition or enough support to lead a minority government, but at the same time there is not a likely chance to form an alternative government, as the opposition is highly divided between ethnic parties, secular moderates, and Akhadist political parties without much common ground.

Once the new session of the Congress of People's Deputies meets in two months and elects the new Speaker of the Congress of People's Deputies, a candidate for Chairman of the People's Council could be nominated to negotiate with other parties in order to form a government. The current Chairman of the People's Council is Temujin Zamambekur, also from the Socialist People's Party. Temujin Zamambekur, who has led the government since 1590 and was expected to repeat in case the Socialist People's Party had obtained a majority, will remain in office even if there's no agreement between the different parties, as the Kyrzbekistani constitution does not establish any limit on forming a government.

Rojadavistan: Criticism against "anti-extremist" legislation in Eskkya increases
By: Anne Michaels
Published: Dein 16, 1597

Headquarters of the State Council.



Reactions against the controversial "anti-Akhadic" legislation discussed in Eskkyan parliament are increasing in Near East countries, this time in Rojadavistan.

Despite President Serefxane Canê condemned the proposal and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mallah Xidir Mukriyanî, during a visit to A'Sir, declared that the Rojadavistani government will closely cooperate with A'Sir to assist any Rojadavani citizen in Eskkya that may face political persecution, the government is being pressured to give a more strong response to the Eskkyan government.

Opposition lawmaker Perwîz Rashowî has recently denounced the announced Eskkyan legislation as "a second religious persecution against Akhadic religion in recent years", in reference to a similar legislation passed in Strathae a few years ago, and warned that if Near East countries aren't able to show their strong opposition, "more Brigidnan countries will continue...the ethnic cleansing of Akhadic believers and Near East minorities".

But Rashowî, an independent MP from the southeastern Masham district, is not the only one in his criticism of the government. The second largest political party in the Rojadavi parliament, the Akhadic Front of Rojadavistan, which is unofficially affiliated with the Akhadic Society -which Eskkyan Premier has already threatened to ban in the country- has criticized that the Rojadavistani could do more to defend the interests of Akhadic believers in Eskkya an other countries.

Yesterday, Kuzhe Zain Bateyî joined this current of opinion. In his speech in the Akhadic University of Sermîyan, Bateyî declared that the "basic principle of reciprocity should be applied" and called that if Breizhigist churches don't openly oppose the legislation and call the Eskkyan government to reject this legislation, then the Rojadavistani government shall have the right to "declare Breizhigism...a proscribed cult" in the country. According to most interpretations, that could give the government the right to prosecute any Breizhigic preacher in Rojadavistani soil as a "threat to the national security".

Although the State Council has a mostly advisory role and it is not directly involved in passing legislation, it remains influential on government's policy, and Bateyî himself is considered a respected scholar in the local clergy, it is expected that tensions between both countries could increase if the legislation is finally passed in the Eskkya parliament.

President Serefxane Canê has signed a government decree in which the Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan suspends diplomatic relations with Eskkya, following the passing of anti-Akhadic legislation by the Eskkyan parliament.

UPDATE: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan has just released the following official statement, announcing more actions in response of Eskkya's "anti-extremist" laws:

Quote:Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan
Ministry of Foreign Affairs


PRESS RELEASE

On the 19th of Dein 1597, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to the outrageous anti-Akhadic legislation passed by the Eskkyan parliament, aimed to the suppression of the Holy Faith in said country, declares that all Eskkyan diplomats are hereby expelled from the Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan and required to leave its territory within 48-hours.

In response to the veiled intimidating languaged used by Eskkyan Premier Blair Gobnet McLucais regarding Akhadic believers living in the Brigidnan country, we hereby nullify all visas issued to Eskkyan nationals restroactively, and declare that all citizens of Eskkya are persona non grata in the Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan moving forwards. This is inclusive of Eskkyan members of the Eskkyan diplomatic contingent, irrespective of their legal status in the country.

The aforementioned have 216-hours to prepare and depart as sign of our magnanimous nature. Our immigration and security apparatus have been ordered to enforce these measures with immediate effect.

We are regreful that the Eskkyan government has chosen to violate the freedoms of religion and speech of thousands of their residents and own citizens, in violation of their basic human rights, in a naked attempt to curtail the rights of the Akhadic believers and Near East minorities.

Our Rojadavistan will keep in contact with our allies, to assure that the rights of any Rojadavistani citizen in Eskkyan soil are respected and they have proper access to legal defense.

Kyrzbekistan: Toktamish Narimanur becomes head of government, ending Socialists' never-ending rule
By: Ahmet Irekur
Published: Vintyr 1597

Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan



After almost six months of political impasse, the Congress of People's Deputies -Kyrzbekistan's Lower House- confirmed Toktamish Narimanur as Chairman of the People's Council (head of government). Toktamish Narimanur, former Governor of Yartushia (1586-1594), became the 5th Chairman of the People's Council since the proclamation of the Kyrzbekistan Democratic Republic in 1568. He will replace Temujin Zamambekur, from the Socialist People's Party, who had been Chairman of the People's Council since 1590.

Although he was elected Governor of Yartushia twice as an independent candidate with the support of the Socialist People's Party and other left-wing and secular parties, Toktamish Narimanur founded his own political party, known as Kyrzbek Democrats, in 1596, with a more centrist-oriented platform.

Toktamish Narimanur was already expected to form a government two months ago, but President Damir Kazbekur had vetoed his nomination, as consequence of reports, some claim, that Mimoza Mirditë (a former member of the Arberian royal house, and who held the title of "Princess" before the abolition of the monarchy), could join the government. Mirditë, who was elected MP as candidate of the Arberian-minority Democratic Social Forum, will became the leader of Democratic Social Forum parliamentary group, replacing Gjon Siliqui who is expected to join the government as Vice-Chairman of the People's Council.

Toktamish Narimanur's government is expected to be a minority government, forming a coalition between his own party and the Arberian-minority Democratic Social Forum, including several independent ministers. Toktamish Narimanur has declared that he aims to form a "moderate and pro-business government", aimed to "improve the well-being and security of all Kyrzbekistani citizens". Although the Kyrzbek Democrats promised an ambitious program of reforms during the electoral campaign, including several proposals of constitutional amendments, it is expected that the new government's program will be more moderate and pragmatic. He will not have it easy, as his minority government relied in the support of Akhadist political parties, but it is unclear if such support could be count for now.

For first time since 1568, the federal government will not have any Socialist People's Party, which has led every government since the proclamation of the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan. Now, President Damir Kazbekur -President of the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan since 1579, and a long-time Socialist People's Party leading member and war veteran- will be forced into a cohabitation with his former ally, Toktamish Narimanur. Still, Toktamish Narimanur's government is expected to face opposition, as no only his minority government will likely lack support of a majority of the parliament, but the Socialist People's Party still controls the Upper House of the parliament and most of the state governments -at least until the coming state elections.

Tensions between the presidency and the federal government are expected, but many hopes that cooperation and good will could also be found, assuring what many consider the first true peaceful transition of power in the Near East nation.

Rojadavistan: Supreme Court justice killed in terror attack
By: Anne Michaels
Published: Marth, 1599

[Image: andonis-samaras-grecia_foto610x342.jpg]
Dominicus funeral is expected to take place tomorrow in Bakurgûnd.



Lucius Dominicus, a Rojadavistan's Supreme Court justice, was killed yesterday in a car bomb attack.

Dominicus, 61, had been a member of the Supreme Court, the highest court of the Akhadic Republic of Rojadavistan, since 1587, when the Supreme Court was established.

He was considered one of the most liberal justices in the Supreme Court, and the only ethnic Galasian member of the Supreme Court.

After his death, eight of the nine members of the remaining Supreme Court are Akhadic, with only one non-Akhadic judge remaining.

It is unclear how Dominicus will be replaced. According to the Rojadavistani constitution, one-third of the members of the Supreme Court are elected by the Lower House of the parliament, while other one-third members are directly appointed by the President. While Dominicus was elected to the Supreme Court by the Rojadavistani Constituent Assembly in 1587, President Serefxane Canê may directly appoint a replacement for the killed justice without need of a parliamentary vote, as he only appointed one justice in 1594, when the Supreme Court was expanded from seven to ten members.

The election of a new justice may increase tensions between the government and the minority and moderate political parties of the opposition, local experts believe.

The opposition Akhadic Front of Rojadavistan, while condemning the terror attack, has called President Canê to replace Dominicus with a judge that "better represent the values and beliefs of the majority of the Rojadavistani society".

The election of a more conservative justice will likely shift the Supreme further to the right, giving the Akhadist conservatives a clear majority in the Supreme Court.

No organization or armed group has claimed the terror attack so far.

Akhadic scholar becomes first female Kuzhe in Mordvania
By: Alime Ilyasovek
Published: Vintyr, 1599

[Image: afba096477159c52.jpg]
Nina Aslanbakhullina has remained indifferent to the controversy.



Nina Aslanbakhullina, a Mordvanian Akhadic scholar, was ordered yesterday Kuzhe in Brezedina, Republic of Mordvania, becoming the first female Kuzhe in Brigidna in recorded history.

Aslanbakhullina, was previously ordered Ozman, a honorific title in Akhadism for those who are experts on Zokuk or religious law, and from 1589 and 1594 she served as yardem or assistant to the Kuzhe in a small community in Brezedina. During 1594 and 1598, she lived in the holy city of Selnas, where she completed her religious studies, under the guidance of Grand Kuzhe Amin Ziade, before returning back to Mordvania. Before that, she also worked in the National University of Brezedina as assistant professor on Akhadic History.

Aslanbakhulliana, who as many Akhadic believers in Mordvania is an ethnic Lipka, is widely respected in the Akhadic community in Brezedina, where her appointment -although with a few exceptions-, has been positively received. However, not everyone agrees in Mordvania, and her appointment may threaten to divide the Akhadic community in the Marzannan country.

Although there is no official prohibition of female clergy in the Setgvek -the holy book for Akhadic believers-, both the Akhadic oral and legal traditions had often held the rule that women were not allowed to serve as political leaders, such as high judges or kings (although there have been several cases of female Kuzhes in Near East through history). As Aslanbakhullina was also ordered Leydi-Gerekçel (a honorific title for female religious scholars only lower to Grand Kuzhe), and there is no living Grand Kuzhe in Mordvania, that would make Aslanbakhullina the highest-ranking Kuzhe in Mordvania.

The Federation of Akhadic Communities, the largest Akhadic organization in the Republic of Mordvania, has declared that Aslanbakhullina's appointment is a local matter of the Akhadic community in Brezedina, and the organization has no official position in such issue. On the other hand, the Mordvanian Organization of Akhadic Believers -associated to the Akhadic Society- has condemned her appointment, describing it as an unnecessary and divisive choice that only "may bring division into the Akhadic community".

In Ryban, where most of Akhadic community belongs to the Zokukyar denomination from more recent immigrantion waves from Near East, the reaction was even more negative, with Kuzhe Nasser Jaber calling Akhadic believers to avoid attending religious services in the city of Brezedina from sakaks which have not joined a open letter of Akhadic scholars and clergymen expressing concern about the suitability of Aslanbakhullina's appointment.

However, Refiyik Çubakovich, Kuzhe in Slovograd, and one of the most prominent members of the Akhadic community in Mordvania, has declared that such reactions may be hasty and belong to a minority of the Akhadic community, which -in his opinion- "will remain as united as always".

Aslanbakhullina, who will serve in an Akhadic sakak which belongs to the Bukh'a denomination, as most Akhadic believers in Mordvania, is expected to be centered in ritual and community issues, and she has not reacted to the alleged controversy about her appointment so far.

Rojadavistan: Local autonomy suspended by national government
By: Anne Michaels
Published: Marth, 1600

[Image: night-excellent_1911308i.jpg]
Protests against the suspension of local elections in the northern city of Bakurgûnd, previously named Eastmarch until 1594.



President Serefxane Canê has signed an executive order, in which the national government will increase their powers over local government, increasing politican tensions in the Near East country.

The move comes after the 1600 local elections were temporary suspended by the Rojadavistani parliament, claiming irregularities by a number of local governments, most of them in the hands of opposition parties.

The executive order also implies that the national government will suspend more than twenty local governments in twelve provinces. Many of those local governments affected by the executive order are in areas where the Galasian and Messanic minorities are either the majority of a larger minority than the national average.

The Galasian National Coalition, an ethnic Galasian secular political party, has denouncedd President Canê's decision as a "pseudo-legal coup d'etat".

The Traditionalist Front, an Akhadist political party, the fourth largest political party in the national parliament, has also denounced the move, as several of the local governments suspended in southeastern Rojadavistan (the rest of provinces affected are mostly in the northern regions), are led by candidates of this political party.

Both the ruling Social Conservative Party and the Akhadic Front of Rojadavistan had supported the suspension of the local elections. However, some members of the Akhadic Front, which is associated to the Akhadic Society, has expressed criticism toward the President's executive order.
