And work it did.

Starosta was shocked, frankly, at the speed at which the General Assembly had convened  and reached a decision on an official stance regarding the Turkish threats - pleasantly surprised, but surprised, nonetheless. There had been plenty of shouting, of course, as there usually was, but the shouting, for once, was mostly all directed at the Turkish government, or regarding various degrees of Republic involvement in a theoretical war with Turkey.

She, it was decided, would be the one to deliver the telegram alongside her air, as there was scarcely little time to waste finding someone whose [i]job[/i] it was to courier the thing.

Thankfully, that only involved a breakneck sprint across the building, throwing open the door to the building's telegraph center without a second thought. Starosta slammed a sheaf of papers down on the operator's desk, jabbing at the topmost sheet with her finger.

"You've got a busy day ahead of you, comrade. Take this down Now."


[hider=Telegram to Tbilisi]
To our comrades in the government of the Transcaucasian Federation in Tbilisi,

We have convened an emergency session of the Sejm of the United Republic, and swiftly reached a decision in accordance with constitutional rules regarding the decision-making of war in times of emergency. We have commenced the immediate mobilization of all available aircraft as we are unable to prosecute a land war against Turkey in the event that the situation devolved into conflict. Furthermore, while we understand Turkish concerns, it is our understanding that the Turkish proposal does the following:
 a) Poses a severe threat to the safety of the Armenian people, considering the severe oppression they have suffered under the Ottoman and Turkish yoke, up to and including genocide
 b) Fails to consider the history of oppression against the Armenian people
 c) Threatens the integrity of your nation by creating what is effectively a Turkish enclave in Caucasia
 d) Poses the threat of resulting in a third Balkan War in response to Turkish aggression
As such, while we generally support the right of people to self-determination, it is our belief that Turkish insistence on an immediate referendum is ill-advised at best and a disingenuous attempt to assault your sovereignty at worst. In other words: The United Republic stands with you, comrades.

Sincerely,
The Sejm of the United Republic of Workers

[hider=Telegram to Bucharest]
To our comrades in the peoples' government of Romania,

We are sending this telegram to inform you that the Turkish Republic is threatening the sovereignty of our comrades in Caucasia. They have demanded a referendum allowing Azerbaijan to leave the Transcaucasian Federation, but, in doing so, they have failed utterly to consider the safety of the Armenian people and have made clear their willingness to engage in violence to further their political goals. While we apologize for the terseness of the communique, we must emphasize the severity of the situation, and ask that you formally declare your support for the Transcaucasian Federation in its defense against Turkish aggression. We recommend that you prepare to mobilize your naval forces in particular, as our alliance's foremost naval power in the Black Sea, and take any other preparations you deem appropriate.

Sincerely,
The Sejm of the United Republic of Workers

[hider=Telegram to Berlin]
To the Comrade Chancellor in Berlin and those whom it may concern,

We have dispatched this urgent communique to inform you that the Republic of Turkey has made an official statement threatening the sovereignty of the Transcaucasian Federation with force should they not comply with Turkish demands for an immediate referendum regarding the political status of the region of Azerbaijan and its constituents. We have already declared our full support for our Transcaucasian comrades, and, while we certainly do support the right of all peoples to self-determination, we must remind you that such a referendum is both an excuse for Turkish military expansion and poses a severe threat to the safety of both the Armenian people and others in Caucasia that have previously suffered under the Turkish yoke, esp. as a Turkish Azerbaijan would create an effective enclave within Caucasia and would likely necessitate the movement of Turkish troops through Armenia, a condition we consider (and hope you will consider) utterly unacceptable. Therefore, we ask for your support and advisement regarding the now-questioned status of the Transcaucasian Federation.

Sincerely,
The Sejm of the United Republic of Workers
