Each passing day it becomes clearer and clearer to the masses of Europe that the Treaty of Constantinople was nothing, but a clever ruse; it can be likened to wool pulled down upon the proverbial eyes of man by those wishing to establish a new European order defined by factionalization juxtaposed with protectionism. This truth is most apparent in this system of legalized piracy implemented in Article 7 of the treaty proper; an article that not only forsakes the freedom of trade, but all the facets of modern diplomacy. While, we could have expected a move like this from the Ottomans considering they have a long history of promoting piracy; seeing so-called Christian nations stoop so low is rather disheartening. 

Spain wholeheartedly supports and plans on attending the Turin Conference proposed by our Italian counterparts; we applauded those European nations that have already committed themselves to the cause and can only hope the rest of the continent breaks free from the maddening grip of insanity and chooses to pursue meaningful long-lasting peace.
