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.

Hasani Mejlis approves act to support Ukrainian sovereignty and supports end of conflict; recognises supremacy of Shahanshah over Crimea

Those present among the Consultative Mejlis have unanimously passed a bill declaring support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and its sovereignty over the disputed regions of Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea, as well as condemning Russia's human rights abuses in Crimea, voicing support for a peaceful, negotiated solution between Russia and Ukraine and recognising the rights of His Imperial Majesty the Shahanshah Iskender IV, may Allah bless his reign, over Crimea, Ukraine and Russia. The act comes at a period of heightened tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with significant buildup of Russian military forces on the Ukrainian border and the United States claiming that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is imminent.

The decision to support Ukraine's territorial integrity is a reversal of previous Hasanistani government policy, including de-recognition of the self-proclaimed pro-Russian republics in Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast.

The motion was tabled by Bashbugh and former President Hasan Çakar. It received all 3 present votes in support, which one absent (excluding the currently vacant seat). This is notably the first act ratified by Acting-President Chase Mahoning.
