The 1981 Alquiyan-Seketese crisis was an international crisis in the Nelborne between Alquiya and Seketan in the aftermath of the Nelborne Spring over the status of their disputed border near the Rynedan peninsula and, to a lesser extent, the broader Trjebian dispute.

Beginnings of the crisis

The start of the crisis began during a routine Ministers Address to the Alquiyan National Assembly. At the lectern was the newly appointed Alquiyan Minister of Defense Simion Xrsaza, reading to the assembly his agenda for the coming term. Opposition parties opposed his appointment to the role as Xrsaza previously did not have foreign affairs experience, having been a wealthy businessman and local Mayor of Keldaj before his appointment. His selection as Minister was characterized as purely electoral, to secure support in Alquiya's third-largest city. Nearing the end of his speech, Xrsaza remarked

...It is this government's goal to defend the constitutional lands of our republic that many fought for, anywhere, and anyway how. It is my personal responsibility to see this goal through.

This remark was a cause for concern in the FKT and Seketese governments. While the border between Alquiya and its neighbours had been de facto settled by the Treaty of Reykjavik after the Nelborne War, Alquiya continued to de jure recognize the Seketese region of the Rynedan peninsula and the FKT as part of their union through their consitution.
