Khevin's December Bombing and Election Updates
This interview took place on December 10th, 1997.
[Dimitri Valko] ... Good evening. Unfortunate news came from Khevin over the past week. Let's discuss, shall we?
[Attila Biro] Yes, I'm Head Anchor Attila Biro of the now-dormant "TKNBC". Has ..."Supreme"... President Vladimir Zhogin of Khevin contacted you at all on the situation?
[Dimitri Valko] After reading the KNN articles, I sent some of the Ryasian Grand Militants into Khevin to help Zhogin quell the SARF (Shiite Anarchist Revolutionary Front, a Khevinist Shiite terror group, for those not informed) riots and re-establish order the wonderful country of Khevin.
[Attila Biro] Do you think Zhogin will be impeached? It sure seemed like he would, when the KNN issued the broadcasts of it.
[Dimitri Valko] If the terror plot hadn't occurred, he probably would have been impeached, yes. But do not come to conclusions, he would not murder his own innocent civilians just to stay in power-- he's a good person.
[Attila Biro] But everything is possible.
[Dimitri Valko] If he indeed murdered those innocent Khevinists for his own gain, I will end relations with him. But again, I truly doubt he is capable of committing such a horrific thing on his own people.
[Attila Biro] Have there been any riots, say, occurring here in Ryas...?
[Dimitri Valko] No, but the Zhoginist Party, running in the Ryasian 1998 elections, now has 24/7 security and protection from trusted armed guards. I surely hope the SARF does not breach Ryasian borders.
[Attila Biro] How is your wife?
[Dimitri Valko] She's doing fine, she's expected to give birth in late February, right before the elections.
[Attila Biro] Are your children going to be present in the audience?
[Dimitri Valko] Probably.
[Attila Biro] Any update on the candidates?
[Dimitri Valko] Candidate "Astaroth Tanith Ishtar" for the Libertarians is expected to be one of my biggest competitors. Perhaps she could even be interviewed over here, if she wanted to.
[Attila Biro] Candidate "Mikhail Gabrielius Marek" for the Conservatives was apparently affiliated with Edvard Miklós, the man who shot you almost three years ago. Thoughts?
[Dimitri Valko] The rumour lacks solid evidence. And even if he was "affiliated" with him, that doesn't mean he necessarily was in on the plot to kill me.
[Attila Biro] Are you being forgiving on his associates?
[Dimitri Valko] I'm unassuming. Like I just said, there is no solid evidence.
[Attila Biro] How are Ryasian-Khevinist relations?
[Dimitri Valko] They are good, for the time being. I wish the terrorist plots do not strain our friendship, but strengthen it.
[Atilla Biro] Any more updates?
[Dimitri Valko] Ashwyn Traverse, of Odd Squad, is using the portrait I edited for him, and that's pretty much it.

[Atilla Biro] And that's all! I thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this interview.
[Dimitri Valko] Yes, goodnight everyone.
