Başbuğ statement on Russian annexation of southeastern Ukrainian provinces

Following the decree issued yesterday by President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation to annex the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaphorizhia, which were captured as part of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Başbuğ Hasan Çakar has issued the following statement on behalf of the His Imperial Majesty the Shahanshah's government of the Sublime State of Turan:

"The annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaphorizhia are illegitimate and not a true representation of the self-determination of the people of those areas. The referendums in those areas were held under duress and do not account for displaced peoples. 

We re-iterate our position approved by His Imperial Majesty and our Mejlis, which is that Russia must withdraw from the internationally-recognised borders of Ukraine."

Sublime State adopts Basic Law

The Sublime State, henceforth known as the Sublime State of Turan, has adopted the Basic Law written by His Imperial Majesty the Shah Daniyal Khan, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with him. The completion of the Basic Law has established the government and legal structures of the Sublime State, which was established from the re-organisation of the Hasanistani state on 10 March 2022.

The Basic Law begins by establishing the basic principle of Turan, including its direct succession from previous Turkic empires such as the Ottomans, Seljuks, Golden Horde and Timurids and the Roman Empire through conquest. It defines subjectship and residents, also setting out the dhimmi system in which non-Muslims shall pay jizya for protection within the state.

The second section deals with the institution of the Monarchy and the Royal Family, setting the procedure for their succession, establishing that power by other elements of the government is derived from the Monarch, the Bayah (pledge of alleigence) for the Monarch and establishing the mechanism for regencies.

It subsequently states the role of the Majlis as the legislative branch, the Divan as the executive branch and the role of the Grand Vizier. The Majlis shall be the decision-making body, appointed at the Monarch's full discretion. The Divan is appointed on recommendation of the Grand Vizier to implement policy decisions. Administrative divisions and their responsibilities have also been defined, with the confirmation of integrating the crown territories of His Imperial Majesty, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with him.

The judicial system shall be based upon the traditional Islamic concept of a millet system, most notably seen in the Ottoman Empire, whereby religious groups shall be governed by their own laws. Each "millet" shall have its own head from its religious community.

The law also establishes the administration of nobility and rights and duties. It states that Turan shall protect human rights based upon Islamic teachings.

The full text of the Basic Law may be read here.

As Pavlovian Emperor abdicates, socius agreement between Hasanistan and Pavlov is ended

Yesterday, the Pavlovian Senate approved a motion to suspend its current bilateral agreements with Hasanistan as well as Richensland which was requested by Hasanistan in anticipation of the abdication of Pavlovian Emperor Iskender IV. This has ended the Socius Agreement between Hasanistan (as well as Richensland) and Pavlov, ending their associated status as well as the personal union of their thrones. It should noted despite his abdication from the Pavlovian throne, the former Emperor has still retained the title of Roman emperor and is still Shahanshah in Hasanistan.

Although the socius agreement has been ended, the act was not done out of hostility but rather interest to establish a new relationship after the abdication of the former Pavlovian Emperor. Hasanistan hopes to establish a new bilateral relationship with Pavlov. The Hasanistani government has also praised the new Emperor of Pavlov Ivan VII and wishes his reign well.

The motion was passed by the Pavlovian Senate by five votes in support, two abstentions and no opposition.
