"Well, to be honest Professor, I doubt my 5,000 troops can do much besides providing protection from refugees. Meanwhile, the Turkish Air Force is more than capable of carrying out cross-border missions, such as taking out those chemical weapons."

Erdogan took a sip of chilled water before continuing, "However, I'm hoping that our friends in the UN will quickly respond to this crisis now that Turkey and Brazil have become active. So ideally, we'll have far more available troops within a month."

As Erdogan, Hublezy, and Gul continued to discuss the situation in Uzbekistan, a youthful aide walked quietly into the room and cleared his throat.

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Prime Minister, but we need you in the briefing room... it's an emergency," he said.

Erdogan frowned, then turned to Hublezy, "Hmm... Well, this sounds important. Sorry, Professor, but I'll have to step out for a moment. I'm sure you and President Gul here can get along fine without me for a few minutes--he is our Supreme Military Commander, after all." With an apologetic smile, Erdogan quickly exited the room.

Once he was in the briefing room, Erdogan was handed a heavy folder full of reports. He groaned at the sight of all those papers.

"I don't have time to read all of this!" he exclaimed, "Just tell me the need-to-know."

"Yes sir," his chief aide responded, "Well, for starters, there are rising hostilities in Azerbaijan between the locals and the Armenian minorities. We're not sure how dire the situation is, but we are getting reports of fatalities. Also, we've received word from our forces in Northern Cyprus. The commander says things are pretty crazy over there, but he's confident that our men can restore order. Finally, on a less urgent note, the leaders of Algeria and Egypt are meeting for talks on an unknown subject."

Erdogan thought for a few minutes, drumming his fingers on the conference table. Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at the gathered politicians in front of him, who watched him anxiously.

"OK, as far as the situation in Azerbaijan is concerned... we wait and watch, for now." Erdogan said, "We're overextended in Uzbekistan and Cyprus as it is. I'm afraid that this is someone else's mess. When it comes to Cyprus... keep an eye on the international community; they've voiced concerns, but nobody seems willing to escalate things, which is good for everyone involved. And as for Egypt and Algeria... this sounds like a regular meeting, but tell our "friends" in the Egyptian government to keep their eyes peeled. Understood?"

The other men all nodded respectfully and answered with "Yes Mr. Prime Minister"'s and "Absolutely, sir"'s. Erdogan nodded.

"Alright, now that you have your orders... get to work." Then, he stood up and walked back to Gul's office to continue his talks with Hublezy.

President Rousseff,
Your conduct in leading the country has immensely impressed my and Prime Minister Ayrault. We would like to extend an offer of an alliance to you and your nation. A military defense pact is the most preferable, however this is negotiable. Please notify Mr. Jong-Un that France would like to send an official to the meeting as well.

Then you will be escorted to the base and after you unload your cargo you will be escorted back to the borders.

Hublezy watched the Prime Minister leave and then turned to President Gul." So Mr.President my nationis eager to resolve this crises but I must ask you what are Turkeys longterm plans for the region and role in peacekeeping operations in the region?" Hublezy added with a smile. He now had to wonder what was in store during the rest of the meeting.

Place: Uzbek Presidential palace, Tashkent

The Presidential palace was was crawling with guards and why not Toshmatov told himself as he escorted the Colonel down the hall. At the moment cameras where everywheres a precaution ordered not by him but intelligence. For now he had to wonder about the Turks and their intentions however it didn't matter this crisis needed to be resolved.Then a young soldier walked up to the group saluting " Excuse me sir but we just recieved a startling report." he said handing the file to the General " Thank you private." Toshmatov then returned the salute. Opening the file it read: As of 1:25AM a Turkmen special ops force raided the Samarkand Presidential residence, where former president Karimov was being held. During the raid Karimov was shot and killed along with seven gurds and three former officals. Another sixteen were wounded and a fomer Minister captured. Toshmatov then thrust the report to the ground and yelled " Get me the head of MIlitary Intelligence now!!!!" the private then ran off to fufil his order." Col.Polat please come with me a new development must be dealt with." Toshmatov finished before heading towards the Presidential office.

[Gordonisia]

Ankara, Turkey

"Well Prof. Hublezy, my longterm goals for your region is to stamp out ethnic hostilities and restore the political, economic, and cultural ties that make us Turkic people so formidable. As for peacekeeping duties, my priority is to protect the Uzbek people, especially refugees, from ethnic violence. Don't worry, as soon as the violence has ceased and the chemical weapons have been neutralized, my forces will pull out and get out of your hair."

Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Col. Polat frowned before following Gen. Toshmatov towards the Presidential office. Whatever that report had said, it was enough to get quite a reaction from the Uzbek commander. That was definitely not good news at all.

PLACE: Capitol Building, Nicosia, North Cyprus

The fires raged on outside. Firefighters rushed to the scene... from both sides of the border. In all the years that this island has been divided, cooperation like this has never happened before... not in a long long time. On both sides of the city, people of both nations rush to help pull one another out of the flames. Firetrucks from the Southern end rush to the scene on the border. Blue helmets run and try to stop the shooting from the hostiles.

Over the last few hours, the city devolved into Hell. With the announcement of Turkish intervention, no one in Cyprus took very kindly to it. More protests broke out, as people from both sides of the border marched in unity, chanting for an end to foreign intervention by the United Nations, the United Kingdom, and Turkey. My colleague across the border, Dimitris Christofias, is dealing with internal struggle within his Cabinet... as am I in my own. We had come to a conclusion a few hours ago... the people are marching for a reason... and to deny their calls is something we can not risk for the safety of others. The problem for me, as President of North Cyprus, is Turkey. They will not take very kindly to the matter... but what are we to do? No one recognizes us, save for Turkey. People across the island are in protest. We can't ignore this further for the profit of Greece and Turkey!

I picked up the red phone and pressed the only button. After a few dial tones, I heard a click, followed by some mumbling.

"Yes?" The voice asked me, somewhat wary... and for good reason.

"We can not keep doing this. On both sides, rioting is in place... we ca-"

"I know Mr. Eroğlu" The voice responded, cutting me off. "We're having problems on our side of the border. We want to talk... but what of Turkey?"

"You know their stance Mr. Christofias. They are going to 'restore order' as they put it." I quipped, dripping with sarcasm. "We need to convince the international community that allowing Turkey to occupy North Cyprus will not be helpful... in fact, rioting has increased since then." Silence filled the line for several minutes. Finally, Mr. Christofias spoke.

"Perhaps... it is time to release a statement on behalf of the entirety of Cyprus, rather than the parts."

PLACE: Capitol Building, Brasilia, Brazil

"In response to this outbreak of violence, which was responding to the Turkish intervention, the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have made calls for a withdrawal of all foreign troops from the region, stating that the stationing of military forces from Turkey, the United Nations, and the United Kingdom has agitated the people and made them feel like quote 'an occupied island under foreign rule.' No response has come from the three listed governmental-" Click went the TV. I almost started to laugh in amusement. Poor Turkey... I actually felt kind of bad for them. After all, it would suck if suddenly my southern neighbors began to clamor for the end of Brazilian oppression... though that really isn't the case now, is it? I sighed and thought about this.

This provided a possibility. The Turkish-Brazilian Relations have been strained recently. With interesting destabilization in China and North Korea at the moment, a new era is approaching rather quickly. New powers will rise up in the different regions around the world... and I plan on making Brazil one of those powers. However, Turkey has played a massive rule in the recent days in the Middle East, and is flexing its power in Cyprus. The point of the matter is, if I wanted to avoid a conflict in the Middle East, Brazil needs to consider fostering good relations with Turkey... or we could just beat the crap out of them. That's how it went, right?

I sighed and shook my head. That's a stupid idea... no one would go for that. I don't think I would either. Still... the island of Cyprus deserves some form of assistance in securing its sovereignty. I sent a quick email to the Delegate for our nation in the United Nations and told him to get right to it. Afterwards, I heard a knock on the door and realized that the representative from Uzbekistan had finally arrived. I put on my best smile and went straight to the Conference Room, where I sat waiting for the representative. At last, he finally was led in.

"Please, do come in. I've been waiting for you... welcome to Brazil Mr. Kamilov" I sipped my tea silently and smiled. "Shall we begin?"

Chris Percy stood infront of a crowd of reporters ready for a Q and A.

“Mr.Percy what would you do about the PHC bill that the government just passed” Asked a reporter.

“Well I would abolish. It would be one the first things that I would do.” replied Percy.

“And how do you think America will react to that?” asked the reporter.

“Well I can see their insurance companies complaining and trying to pay me off. Unlike certain politicians though I will not be bought.” Said Percy.

“So are you referring to certain politicians as American politicians in that statement?” asked the reporter.

“There are documents if you wish to know go and do the research.” said Percy.

“How would you handle the American reaction to quickly abolishing the PHC?” asked the reporter. A grin then appeared on Chris Percy’s face.

“Well you see. There are a lot of things wrong with the American health care system. It is the American governments job to supply there citizens with health care. Though for some reason that is not in the bill of rights. This does need to be fixed and I would want to work with the American president, whoever it may be and push for a better solution.” Said Percy.

“Did you have something in mind?” asked the reporter.

“Well you see this wasn’t my idea. The Idea comes from close to 60 years ago. An American president came up with it can you believe that?” said Percy.

“You don’t mean?”Asked the reporter.

“Yes I do. As the great FDR said it.”Chris then sat down and screen then came down and a video of FDR reading the Second Bill of Rights started to play.



“ It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.

We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. “Necessitous men are not free men.” People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;


The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.

America's own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.

For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.” The video then ended and Chris Percy tool the stage again



“You may ask why I just showed you that. Well you see I have a very similar goal. Though this should not be just for Canada. I believe that every single person should be entitled to similar rights as these. Is it crazy to make sure that people have a job, education, housing, medical care, and social security.” Finished Chris Percy. He then turned around and walked off the stage.

The polls came out tomorrow, and Chris knew he would be leading.

Hublezy was just about to respond to the President when his aide walked over and whispered into his ear" Sir the Foreign office just contacted us, apparently former President Karimov was killed by the Turkmen." upon hearing those words Hublezy's face drained of colour after a moment he asked the question" How?" the aide then whispered "Intelligence doesn't know the details are quite sketchy however they suggest you tell the Turks immediately." he finished before returning to the other Uzbeks.

Grand Ayatollah Khamenei was sick of that fool of a President he maybe old but he wouldn’t put up with Ahmadinejad any more. He looked at the latest headlines about how the President was as usual putting Iran at serious risk with this nuclear arms race. As far as Khamenei was concerned the last thing they need is another showdown. He needed to get rid of the radicals whom would dare oppose the Mullahs and religious hierarchy. For now though he needed to find a rival for the meddlesome Ahmadinejad. Then he remembered the perfect man for the job he had to smile at the sheer irony.

The meeting was surprising for former Prime Minister of Iran Mir-Hossein Mousavi as he was shown into the Supreme Leaders office. As he entered he was surprised to see Khamenei waiting “You summoned me Supreme Leader?” Mousavi asked the old man before him smiled “Mousavi my old friend I need your help.” “My help your Excellency?” Mousavi asked stunned. “Come sit my friend have some tea.” Khamenei said as he sat on a sofa pouring some tea for Mousavi. As he sat down and accepted the tea Mousavi asked the question “Sir I must ask why you need me after all you have Ahmadinejad.” Khamenei then frowned “I’m sad to say the President has become insane and drunk with power.” Khamenei told him. “Sir I know well everyone knows you and the President don’t agree but surely there’s a better explanation.” Mousavi asked sipping some more tea. “He has threatened the Mullahs and is undermining my power. He corrupts Islam with his foolish beliefs and apocalyptic dreams.” Khamenei answered Mousavi frowned now and began to see what the Supreme Leader was asking of him “You want me to replace him don’t you?” Mousavi asked leaning back in his seat. Khamenei nodded “He and several of his followers are beyond radical their insane. This nuclear project will only bring death I’m sure you’ve already noticed he’s appointed one of the leading experts on nuclear energy as our Foreign Minister.” Mousavi nodded at the statement but added “Sir how can I beat him in an election he’s already bought the Revolutionary guards favor.” Khamenei then stood up” I’m going to help you win this election Mousavi. And if you lose then I’ve already met with the military and Guardian Council not to mention opposition and they will gladly support his fall. So I’m asking you will you be my President.” Mousavi only nodded “Good the lets begin.” Khamenei smiled

Ashley Kohl stood before a mass of media outlets from around the world -- International ones. The famous Al Jazeera providing translations of her speech to Iranian and Arabic audiences, French, British, Brazilian, Russian, Italian, German, etc. translations too through localized media.

She said, "Since the tragedy that befell our nation in 2001, our nation has become a pariah internationally. We are hated on all sides. The Russians despise us for the years of near destruction waged by the division of Europe, Korea, Vietnam and the division of the general world between the Communist dream, and the Western dream." She said, "The Iranians hate us because we have broken their trust in more ways than one, but at the same time, they too push us, it is merely a mutual conflict that one side must end." She pressed her finger to the podium and said, "Even today, we are being jeered at and disliked for being the world policeman, a position we have held since the guns fell silent over Berlin, and the nuclear dust settled at Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

She stated, "My counterpart, a fellow candidate, in the Dominion of Canada, Chris Percy, has lead to slanderous remarks on the fortunes of the United States repeatedly, calling us weakened, and that the Canadians can hold their resources above our heads. They threaten the fabric of Americanism, set forth by the various leaders of North, Central and South America." She said, "Chris Percy sits and claims that he works in Canada's interests..." She turned to face the BBC camera, "No offense to our British contemporaries in London, but how can Chris Percy sit behind a desk and claim he works for Canada, but at the same time, swear fealty to his Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II of Windsor?"

She chuckled and said, "Canada, I do not wish for us to be enemies, but if that is your will, then your will is what shall be done."

Many reporters began to question her. A FOX reporter asked, "What do you think of the recent Chinese affairs?"

Ashley responded, "China is a nation that must be dealt with in a special way. To quote President Theodore Roosevelt, "Tread lightly but carry a big stick."." The same reporter asked, "Which Chinese faction do you plan to support if you win?" Ashley said, "I'm not sure. Each faction is of interest, As President, I would pursue the most peaceful and democratic solution to the issue."

Another one asked, "What do you think about the potential Canadian-American situation regarding landmarks and future cooperaton?" Ashley said, deadpanning, "If Chris Percy is elected to power in Canada -- There will be no future cooperation between the United States and Canada." Another reporter asked, "What does this mean for Niagara Falls?" Ashley stated, "Myself nor Chris Percy would dare destroy such a beautiful natural landmark for political reasons. That's too cruel, even for a situation like what me and my campaigning staff are expecting."

She said, "Besides Canada, I am going to approach each of America's worst enemies with an olive branch and see if there is room for peaceful compromise. I do not wish for war or hatred between the United States and Iran, or Russia, it is simply an idiotic gesture to believe that us, children of Earth and humanity, must fight one another for the sake of territory, oil and other resources. To quote an old television ad from a Presidential Campaign... These are the stakes, to create a world in which all of God's children can live. We must love each other... or we must die."

An official dispatch from the Prime Minister's office announces the involvement of the Greek military in the peacekeeping operations in Uzbekistan. Prime Minister Erdogan says that he is "grateful and humbled by this display of friendship and compassion" and claims that "Greece and Turkey will work closely with each other and Uzbek government to bring security and peace to this troubled region."

In other news, PM Erdogan says that he is "surprised" and "saddened" by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus's decision to ask all foreign peacekeepers to leave the nation. He released a statement that read:

"For years, Turkey has been Northern Cyprus's only friend. We have provided extensive political and economic support, while other nations disregarded the Turkish Cypriots. Unfortunately, the government of Northern Cyprus has made it quite clear that this support is no longer desired, and so I wish to announce that the Republic of Turkey will now begin to wind down its economic support to Northern Cyprus. There will be no aid payments whatsoever by 2015. Furthermore, we are withdrawing our military troops. We still hope that the Turkish Cypriots find happiness in whatever path they choose."

Col Polat stared blankly at Gen. Toshmatov for a full ten seconds before saying anything. He hadn't even been able to speak to the President, and things were already getting complicated.

"Mr. President, Gen. Toshmatove... you have my condolences," Polat said sympathetically, "But I'm sure you want more than just my words. On behalf of the Turkish government, I'd like to re-iterate my country's commitment to bringing these men to justice. What is our next move?"

Sisavank Saint John Church,
Sisian,
Armenia

The windows of the church burst as flamed poured out of the frames.

Farid ran out of the broken down door. The church was the last stronghold of the Armenian town of Sisian. Houses burned to the ground slowly, as if a dragon had ravaged the area with a fierce hatred. People lay slain across the streets, and cars sat smoldering in by the pavement.

Death was all around. Within the days the siege lasted, the town had fallen to its knees. Soon, the gateway between western and eastern Azerbaijan had been taken, with the towns of Kapan and Goris being taken with a bit more struggle. The Azeri machine that stormed through the land had orders to amass on Sisian, crushing any resistance that stood in their path. It was obvious that the Armenian armed forces were mobilizing, as soon the Azerbaijani forces would too.

Farid new this was the beginning of a full, true war. One that would not stop until Azerbaijan stood victorious. This time, they would win. This time they would force the Armenians into their own land.

"...As riots have broken out all across the country. Armenians are standing in protest of the new deportation laws, and the invasion of southern Armenia. It is believed that nearly a dozen protesters have been arrested so far. The government asks that all citizens would remain calm, and that the situation would end peacefully, and soon.

Ethnic strife in the area of Nagorno-Karabakh, where the Armenian population has refused to exit the country, has led to many casualties; Armenian and Azeri alike. Thought war is now seen as inevitable, many experts believe it will be a quick exchange, with hopes for peace-talks soon.

Although the government has not officially taken responsibility for the sieges and bombings of many southern Armenian towns, it is obvious that the state has no intention of releasing the areas, seen as de facto holdings of the Azerbaijanis'.

We'll have more news as it comes."

And, for those of you interested in what's going on, don't expect this to be an easy conflict. I understand completely the complexity and challenge such a war entails, so bear with me, as this is merely the element of surprise in effect. There will be far more wins and loses, so don't expect this to be an easy thing.

Hell, I might just flip a coin to see if I win or not, if none of you get involved by then.

Hublezy looked over at the President his mind was already made up” This attack against Uzbekistan is beyond horrible it is unthinkable. We must put an end to these attacks against Uzbekistan thus I suggest we look at Operation Tamerlane it is in all our best chance to end this crisis and Turkmenistan’s evil.” As he finished he reached into his briefcase and pulled out the folder the one Toshmatov had personally gave him. Looking over to the President Hublezy then spoke “Sir I will understand if you don’t agree with Operation Tamerlane. But know this this may be our only way of ending the madness in the region.” He then handed the folder to the President and prepared to tell him the plans for Tamerlane.
Place: Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Toshmatov looked over to the general staff and President they all nodded one of the generals then stepped forward “Sir you might as well tell him about Tamerlane. After all we all knew it was our final hope of deal with the Turkmen. And we all know you gave Hublezy the details thus by now he’s told the Turkish government.” Toshmatov then sighed “Colonel when the crises began we were instructed by President Karimov to come up with ways to resolve it by military means.” He then walked over to the President’s desk and opened a drawer. Looking over at Mirziyoyev whom in turn nodded he then looked over at Polat. “Tamerlane was a military invasion plan for Turkmenistan to be coordinated with the rebels and also Kazakhstan. We had hoped never to use it and I still hope we won’t. But I’m afraid as the violence continues to escalate we have few options. So Colonel I’m asking you do you think we should proceed with Tamerlane if the Turkmen refuse to back down. Because that is the ONLY time Tamerlane was to be initiated.” Toshmatov saw the look on the Colonels face and realized it was in the Turks hands now. He only hoped they would make the right decision.

Ankara, Turkey
As Erdogan walked into the President's office, he could tell that something had changed. Both Hublezy and Gul had solemn looks on their faces, which could not be good news. Raising an eyebrow quizzically, Erdogan looked at President Gul, "What happened?"

Gul gave an impromptu briefing on the situation, and Hublezy added anything that Gul left out. Once Erdogan had grasped the situation, he sank back in his chair and rested his hands on his temples.

"This mission, Operation Tamerlane... it's risky," Erdogan murmured, "both politically and in militarily. But if you truly believe that this will bring peace... you have Turkey's support."

Then Erdogan nodded at Gul, "Tell our boys in Uzbekistan what's going on." Gul nodded and picked up a plain black phone. He dialed a number and waited for a reply. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke.

"Colonel, this is the President. Tamerlane is green."


Tashkent, Uzbekistan
The room was quiet as the Uzbek leaders awaited Polat's reply. Suddenly, the office was filled with the soft chirping of Polat's phone. He looked at the number, realized who was calling, and nodded politely at the Uzbeks. "It's President Gul."

"This is Co. Polat... Yes sir, understood."

Polat hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. "Our Prime Minister and President have signed off on Tamerlane. You have our full support."

Polat knew that things were about to get very interesting, very quickly.

Hublezy was surprised but grateful “Very well Mr. Prime Minister but if Tamerlane is ever to possibly succeed we will need to deal with the Turkmen chemical weapons immediately. As well I think it would be best if we discuss something very important the Uzbek military’s modernisation. Would your government be willing to help us in that field after all you have the finest army in the whole Islamic world.” Hublezy finished. He then had to wonder about Ubzaxa “Sir also I must ask you what your opinion of Dr. Ubzaxa is. After all when Tamerlane is initiated we will need to coordinate our efforts with him and the Kazakhs if they come to our aid.” Hublezy leaned back in his seat and studied the two men’s expressions.

Toshmatov nodded and then spoke I’ve already spoken to Hublezy regarding Tamerlane and by now he’s filling in your government. I must ask you though Colonel what will Turkey do to help us in this war. After all The Turkmen military is quite formidable even when compared to ours especially with their chemical weapons.” The President then walked over “I’ll have intelligence inform Ubzaxa of what’s going on after all we’ll need to coordinate our efforts with him.” Another general then spoke “Sir we must also consider the fact the Turkmen if we attack will no doubt call on Taliban insurgents to attack our flank in an attempt to divide our forces. We should speak with Afghan commanders so they might conduct an offensive before we initiate Tamerlane.” Toshmatov then looked over at Col. Polat and asked “ What do you think Colonel?”

Khamenei had to wonder how this third party in the Americans elections would affect him already he was impressed she had it translated to Iranian however he would’ve preferred her to wear a hijab. Oh well not everyone is Muslim he thought he just hoped if she won the Americans would be more friendly. For now his plans were all going great thanks to his silent support that fool of a President Ahmadinejad was losing ground in Parliament. Mousavi meanwhile was being hailed as the next President of Iran, Ali had to smile already the Guardian Council had put forward an election which Khamenei supported. And in a few hours Iran will have a new political party he had to smile at his good fortune.
