Declaration of Imperator Mehmet V
A great enemy have risen like a phoenix in the East! The Roman Empire had only heard tales of this grand Empire of the Han in the east for centuries culminating in the Abbasid's war against the Tang. As such his Most Christian Imperator and Defender of the Coptic Faith summons every able bodied man of the Empire to do their part for the security of our people. We must March to the Iron Gate Pass and confront this ancient evil that lurks with their imperialistic desires upon our ancestral land. Never shall the Empire surrender! Never shall the eternal flame of the Romans be extinguished!
By Gods Grace and the fervor of our Legions, Long Live Rome.
