Upon being informed that Germany had announced its withdrawal from The Global Assembly, The Turkish Government quickly scrambled to get a press conference assembled.
"Ladies and gentlemen," The Grand Vizier began on live television. "For those of you who are unaware, The German Realm has officially announced its withdrawal from The Global Assembly. This event, while surprising by its sudden occurrence, was not one that The Ottoman Government was unaware of. A while ago, members of The Global Assembly voted on a resolution which, if passed, would have granted The Global Assembly power over Turkey regarding its ability to engage in financial services. Naturally, Turkey voted against this resolution, however it was a painfully close. The resolution was rejected by one vote. While that is a positive outcome, the reality is more concerning.
It is possible for any country in The Global Assembly to put forward a resolution that could, if desired, cause an international organisation to have oversight of national affairs. This potential for Turkish sovereignty to be usurped by a simple majority resolution is the reason that we, The Turkish Government, held talks with Germany regarding our withdrawal from the organisation.
Suffice to say, their sudden exit at this very moment has forced out hand to do the same. Turkey also declares its total withdrawal from The Global Assembly. Like Germany, we are not suggesting that we will utilise this for nefarious means, nor will we use this withdrawal as a pretext to engage in heinous and immoral acts. This is a declaration that Turkey is sovereign, and no-one will be permitted to possess authority over us that we haven't consented to.
It is also a perfect time to make an important announcement. When the topic of withdrawing from The Global Assembly was put forward to The Germans by Turkish diplomats, an alternative to the defective organisation was also suggested. Unlike The Global Assembly, this alternative put national sovereignty first. This organisation is simply called... The Iron Ring."
"Resolute in protecting the sovereignty and independence of its members, and encouraging constructive dialogue, The Iron Ring, while currently consisting of just Turkey and Germany, is ready to accept new members. To allow all nations across the globe to see what the founding document of this organisation contains, I have a copy right here for perusal."
