From Portugal:
Rio:
Any power can be crused with twice superrior force. Let alone a force that is 4 times stronger. Portugal is merely offering assistance to its child nation.
Portugal wishes to remind Rio that Lisboa conference has a goal of ensuring independance of Rio and it is cruscial that Rio and other interested parites attend it.
Portugal confirms its willingness to accept any persons of Portugese origin fleeing from Rio and give them asylum.
England:
We are happy to see that England came out of diplomatic isolation (

) and welcome the king of England. Juan de Ghama I of Portugal wishes to enter a NAP with yo to prevesnt war between our two nations and increase trade bewteen us (OOC PM me for details).
Portugal on the Turkish War:
Today Achbishop of Portugal adressed the crowds at Lisboa's central square. Celebreation in the name of Portugals new King quickly turned violent. Archbishop of Portugal Perdo Martines Tabasco Maria Trinidad began his speech by congratulating Juan de Ghama on his succesion to the throne and wished that his rule of Portugal restores the countire's pride. The archbishop briefly touched on the international situation (OOC we are not like USSR

) and moved over to religious issues. He expressed that misunderstandings in Catholic Church will be overcome. The Catholic Christian Church cannot afford be split in two. Especially in such important times. Times of friendship between religions and common peoples. Humans want to be able to practice their religion without persecution. However not everywhere in the world it is possible. In the Turkish Empire an Empire of different religions people cannot freely practice their religion. In Turkey Christians cannot build houses higher of those of Muslims. Shia Muslims are being pushed from their land. Orthodox Christian Churches are closing. Arab Muslims are opressed by their fellow faith nation the Turcs! From its experience Protugal as a Kingdom knows that religions can coexist if government doesn't persecute the "wrong faith". Since "Equal Church Decree 1" of Juan de Ghama Muslims and Christians coexist peacefully in our great Kingdom. We shall not deprive people of Middle East of benefits of religios equality! As Urban the II urged you to sign up to the first crusades I now urge you to stand up for the freedoms of people struggling under the heavy foot of Turkish Empire!
Turkish Diplomats with pale faces were quickly escorted back to their embassy. Within a couple of hours an angry crowd of Muslims and Christians alike pillaged the Turkish Embassy following the Turkish Diplomats fleeing the country.
1 hour later a declaration was published around the country:
"Declaration of War."
Following religious persecutions in Turkey constant opression of its citizens Portugal takes a responsibility of entering a Crusade against the Turkish Empire. We will not withdraw until all nations of the Empire are free from the Turkish Rule.
To Russia and Turkmenistan: We have a common enemy and therefore wish to offer you an alliance.
To Turkey: From now on our two nations are in a state of war.
To Morocco:
Ultimatum:
We wish to inform you that it would be in you best interests to refrain from going into war on the side of Turkey. Any form of aid to the Ottoman Empire other than words will be met with deadly force. We do not wish war with you as much as you don't need a war. It can be avioded as long as yo do not interevene with our Holly mission.
