Because we are currently concerned with certain nations attempting to utilize satellite based weapons on Parthia, we feel it is necessary to ask the nations of the world to understand that for a short period of time, we will have to ask all satellites not belonging to allied nations, or to nations which ask express permission to have satellites operating over Parthia, to leave. We regret that failure to do so will result in the interception of the offending satellite, but we hope you understand that this is to prevent catastrophic loss of life.

Unfortunatly the path taken by our satellites is somewhat out of our hands. Perhaps you could direct your complaints to Sir Isaac Newton?

same with all of mine. BTW, none of my sats enter your airspace, and if they did, well, the force of gravity and the laws of physics would just plain cause them to crash to the ground.

"Our satellites are ran by Newton. I ask that you call him up instead. Mean while, we are aimming a tungsten rod equipped attack satellite right at your house. Happy birthday!"

And you know, it is possible to reposition satellites.

Indeed it is. However most satellites do not carry sufficient fuel to carry out plane changes of the size needed. Hence it is not feasible.
Unless of course you personally want to pay for launching fuel to each of the several hundred satellites that orbit the Earth, a task which will need to be completed several times a day, along with a small (large) fee to compensate everyone for the inconvenience.

You should realize that you are not the first- nor even the five-hundredth- person to make this absolutely absurd demand. Many, many moons ago, I got tired of reading such foolishness, so I wrote an extended rant on the subject:

would consume too much fuel.

OOC: Parthia your airspace doesnt go that high and a satellite doesnt actually have to be directly above you to say... launch an ICBM at you.
