We do not believe a response to the false accusations of Prussia and the Netherlands are necessary, they have proven themselves to be war-mongers with their conquest of Belgium, and a war-monger does not change.

We would like to inform the Netherlands and Prussia that Sultan Abdulmecid, may God rest his soul, has been in his grave for almost a year now. It does not come as a surprise to us and to all civilised, peace loving people that they would claim that even the dead are scheming against them.

The democratic Ottoman Empire, having been given little choice, hereby declares a state of open hostilities with the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, calling upon our allies the Austrian Empire and the United Principalities to support us in warding off the might of the Satanic Armies.

[b]His Highness, Grand Vizier Mehmed Fuad Pasha, Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire[/b]
