The rights of squatters to possess lands on the eastern fringe of the city of Sevastopol are hereby revoked, in preparation for the creation of a new commercial airport in that area. The airport will be the largest in the Black Sea region, and will be approximately ten miles square, and will be able to handle a variety of commercial, private and industrial air traffic. It will include within its grounds five separate terminals and three principal runways. The government will take all measures necessary to assure that the acquisition of the land and the construction of the airport remains on schedule. The airport is expected to begin construction in March of 2009 and be completed in December of 2010.

Protests in the eastern shanty town of Vladimir began today, in response to government's recent notice to the squatters that they would be forced off the grounds, in order to build a new airport to help drive the push to modernize the nation's economy.

"This is my land, it has been in my possesion now for the past twelve years, and I have build every single inch of this house." Yelled one soon to be homeless resident.

Others from shanties across the city joined the protestors, who attempted to march on the city proper, only to be corralled by the local police, dressed in riot gear, before they could leave the area. More protests and demonstrations are expected to commence tomorrow, as many of the commuters are unable to leave the area.

The government has refused to comment on this matter.

The Republic of Ruccola wishes to propose an alternative solution. Our government is willing to grant the Crimean Republic an interest-free loan to construct an offshore airport on reclaimed land off the coast of Sevastopol. Such a location would allow for round-the-clock operations and would solve the land acquisition issues the project now faces. More importantly, future urban development will not be a threat to the airport's expansion due to its location on the Black Sea. We would be glad to provide engineers, architects and equipment for the project if your government so pleases.

The Crimean Republic would rather not have to accept your offer of military police within our nation. THe nation has always been subject to treacherous invasions and attacks upon her soverignity, therefore, do not hold your breath for your offers to be approved of, unless the situation gets much worse.

would your nation be against the prospect of "giving them jobs"?
By way of moving them off in trucks to some place where they could
dig / fill in holes and lay roads ect...

Just a thought,

The protests in Vladimir transformed into riots today as the first of the bulldozers came to begin clearing the way for the new airport. The demolition was forced to a hault by the protestors, however, as they began to throw rocks and pieces of concrete at the oncoming drivers.

Regrettably, the Sevastopol police were forced to use force against the rabble, billy-clubbing and tear-gassing the group into submission. They then carted off most of the belligerents to jail, under charges of attempted murder, disturbing the peace, vandalism, and trespassing on government property.

The Republic is pleased to announce the groundbreaking for the airport is right on schedule, and went off today without a hitch, as the nearby protesters were hidden from the view of spectators.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new terminals and airport will be held on The Twenty Eighth of June Two Thousand and Eight. All contributing parties are welcome to attend the ceremony and the post ceremony ball, where there will be free drinks and food for attendees. It is a black tie affair.
