Hasanistan re-establishes bilateral ties with Mouzilo

Yesterday evening, Basileus of Mouzilo Emmanouil Tsompangolou ratified a treaty that established mutual recognition and bilateral relations between the recently re-established Mouzilo and Hasanistan.
Mouzilo is one of the oldest nations with which Hasanistan has held contact with, dating back to 2012. The early Hasani-Mouzeliot relationship was notorious for occasional periods of hostility, with the first contact between the two nations being such a crises. Despite this, while some tense still occurred, Hasanistan and Mouzilo grew to develop a stronger relationship and co-operated many times. The two nations were in confederation together in 2013, known as the Union of Hasanistan and Mouzilo, which later attempted to become a federal state known as Kekropia. Mouzilo has also maintained a small territory near Batyr known as Virgo, although its current status is ambiguous as Mahuset also claims the territory. In 2014, Mouzilo joined the Ashukov Federation with Akharnes, Montania and some other states.
On 26 December 2017, Mouzilo unilaterally seceded from Ashukovo. The Ashukov Vice-President Edward Jacobs reacted to the declaration of independence on Twitter on 29 December with the following statement:

"Mad Manolis declared Mouzilo’s “independence” without a federal constitutional amendment - totally illegal. I urge President Huff to take action and protect the constitution of Ashukovo!"

Despite the war of words, it seems that the Ashukovs have no intention of truly opposing the Mouzeliot secession. The secession of Mouzilo also leaves the question of Ashukovo's future open, as Mouzilo was Ashukovo's most active state. There is a possibility that this may lead to the dissolution of the Ashukov Federation.
Hasan Çakar has stated that he is glad that Mouzilo has re-established their old friendship with Hasanistan and that he hopes the two countries can co-operate on many projects in the future. He has also said that he hopes not to make the mistakes of Hasanistan's early days, in reference to this diplomatic crises between the two countries.
The treaty itself can be read at the Hasani Archives.
