To the Ottoman Empire from Russia
We believe you refer to our treaty of increased trade with Germany, and our tentative moves towards a Christian detente.
This war is blessed, for the powers that be in Europe have recognized the cooperative spirit of Russia. It needs but one more signature to seal the fate of the Turkish beast. It would be wiser to surrender to our demands upon the shattering blows that shall rain this year, and by such action spare your people from being visited the horrors that an unfettered coalition of vengeful Greeks and Armenians would bring upon your people.
As for your provocations they are horrendous and numerous, and only a man such as Abdul Hamid II could truly forget the stain and smell of acrid blood on his hands.
