PRESIDENT LIAVON JAKAVIENKA DOES NOT EXCLUDE APHISEPTEN JOINING THE NORTH LUTENTIAN TREATY ORGANIZATION (NLTO)
Aphisepten Republic President Liavon Jakavienka told the gathered journalists that he would not mind Aphisepten joining the new NLTO military organization and has already spoken about it with the Defense Ministry and Military Officials
President Liavon Jakavienka is preparing for the grand conference with journalists and the cabinet of ministers that would begin momentarily. That grand conference would be summing up the 25 years of Jakavienka’s ongoing presidency so far. Ahead of that big conference the President graciously gave his time to a group of journalists in another forum this morning where the President spoke with the worker’s of the national agricultural sector. During that exchange with the journalists, the President answered some sensational questions on internal and foreign affairs. President Jakavienka expectedly did not avoid a question on the newly created North Lutentian Treaty Organization. The President said that he would personally not mind Aphisepten joining NLTO. The national leader assessed that he has advocated for a creation of a regional bloc in Eastern Ventismar or a bloc that could merge Eastern Ventismar and Ophion. President Jakavienka also reminded the journalists how his administration left open the idea of Aphisepten joining Ophioneus as a federal subject, an associate state or merging into a new union state.
“You know all of that and I’m not saying anything sensational. I am the most open President in the world and telling the journalists and our people things as they are. I’m not backtracking on the positions I have expressed in the past and try to remain consistent. That is why the people have been re-electing me to be this nation’s President for 25 years already. I’m consistent with my positions. The fortunate position for us in Aphisepten is that questions like these cannot divide our nation by turning into a bipartisan issue. That is the case for big questions in internal and foreign policy. I’m an independent and the National Assembly of our Republic has independents in the majority so we can be the most flexible government in the world. Our government is not confirming or denying anything yet. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t mind Aphisepten joining NLTO because I’ve advocated for regional integration. But you have to remember that I’m not the only official in our government. There’s the administration, the parliament and the opposition. I think you, dear journalists, know what the opposition thinks of this issue without me having to address it. I’ll just tell you that I did my part as President. I have already spoken with the Defense Ministry and our Military Officials to discuss the standards and framework that Aphisepten would have to meet so that it could join NLTO if we come to it. Better to be prepared for everything.”
