| Sultan Abdul Hamid III | "As you know there is a current arms race in the Middle East, Turkey is more directed against Egypt but the Galla, an ally of the Sultanate and Turkey since 1900s has seemed to be concerned about your expanding power and has sided with Egypt. This is where international relations go complicated and can lead to misunderstandings. ATMA was a great alliance between us but now Turkey is being forced to one side. The Sultanate is trying to remain neutral regarding this, but as the Galla is getting more closer with Egypt, and as Turkey is against Egypt it has become a mix-up of matters. The ARMA should be more modern I strongly agree with that, but I also dont want the Galla deciding to go full on Egypt's side as if we betrayed them."

King Talal al-Saud:

    "And yet if the Sultanate continues to increase their cooperation with Galla, who is knowingly anti-Arab and anti-Islam, the Sultanate will push itself not only away from Saudi Arabia but also potentially from the Persian Gulf Pact members, who collectively represent the 3rd largest economic market in the world and robust military capabilities both individually and collectively...more than the Galla can ever muster let alone contribute to security measures if it wanted to. Yes there is history between Galla and Turkey but there is also history between Arabia and Turkey going back to the 1800s and prior. Galla going to Egypt is a simple pivot because of Egypt's manpower and their positioning of the Suez. The desire of the Galla to acquire the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is to solidify both their positions and demonstrate a chokehold on global trade if matters do not go their way in accordance to their national interests and policy. Ankara. Saudi Arabia possesses the largest deposits of natural gas and oil, of which you need in addition to direct access to the Indian Ocean, of which you also need.

    Understanding that the recent pivot of Syria to Iraq may have Ankara rather on edge, think of it this way: through pivoting back to a friendship with Arabia and managing economic deals with the Persian Gulf Pact, Turkey is placed in a much better position than continuing to keep an alliance or partnership of a sizable degree with the Galla, who clearly wants tensions to boil over toward war with Arabia. Not once has Saudi Arabia sought discord or tensions with the Galla let alone Egypt. Saudi Arabia has not done anything but to ensure the utmost security of its own people and the peninsula. Your country is predominantly Muslim Sultan Abdul. How would your people genuinely feel is Turkey is found to militarily support a country who not only despises Arabs but also is clearly growing anti-Muslim. Abdul, you are a Muslim sovereign....hence your title of Sultan. There should be no question where you should place your cooperation further. I do not care for the words, rhetorics, or actions of Egypt as Saudi Arabia has contingency plans such as a Red Sea A2/AD (Anti-Area/Access Denial) framework that stretches from the mouth of the Red Sea to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Egypt is the least of my worries and neither is the Galla."

King Talal al-Saud would take a sip of tea.

King Talal al-Saud:

    "The 2014 Alliance between our countries demonstrated recognition of Arabia as the leader of the Arab World and continual leader of the Muslim World in conjunction to bilateral understandings and coordination of policies that are mutual beneficial to both countries. This Ankara pivot to a country that seeks the subjugation of Arabs and the grotesque mockery of Islam is quite abhorrent and it is not a fire that I would play with in any regard. It is within your best interest to really prioritize your security and political commitments to the Galla but the firing of a missile or the firing of a gun will be caused by the negligence of Gallans and their antiquated disillusions of grandiose destiny acclamations instead of the real reality of the current times."
